- PROBABLY THE MOST PURE FUN THAT I'VE HAD ON A BOAT IN A LONG TIME. The Minicat is so light that the feeling when sailing in strong winds is like nothing else.
Answer to the question: YES IT SENDS. But totally different to every other type of catamaran, or boat for that matter.

Nobody at minicat might have seen this coming! I'm not sure if they should be scared or proud! 🔥🧨🎇
Proud for sure!! She does what you';d think but then a lot more.
Super proud!!
FURIOUS BANANA BOAT!
looks like fun, makes me wonder what a hybrid rigid/inflatable could look like
Yes there's so much more potential there/.,,,
Last time I heard those sort of breathing patterns a baby was being born !! Congratulations on the birth of 4m20 of sailing fun.
Thanks, It certainly was a lot of fun!!
Japadabadoo, Yeah such "rubber-ducks" are like go-carts on water very lively in breezy conditions but my happy-cat also started bending up the leehull above a certain speedlimit plus slipping sideways... big fun
so much fun!!
Love my HappyCat Hurricane. So fast.
whoa, that's fun!
You're not wrong!!
This looks like a lot of fun!
Also: ILCA6 in the corss-shore at 7:02 - oh yeah!
Yep the 'Laser' is still too much fun.
Almost 18 knots on an inflatable, that's pretty nice.
Certainly felt good!
@@JoyriderTV Have you tried the smartkat by any chance? A comparison video would be great.
Also, do you think there is a way to secure the front of the hulls so they don't flop about so much?
Hiking Joe your feel that tomorrow!!!
Ha! Yes, for sure,
Great video. Minicat 420 is great but at those speeds it lacks rigidity ...tons of fun though.
I noticed that too. I was imagining if you made a long plastic beams on top of each hull attached to the tramp that it would make the boat more rigid???
I wonder if the 310 would be more rigid for being smaller.
I thought, once again that i could have pumped her a bit firmer.
I would guess that the smaller boat would be stiffer.
@@JoyriderTV Just saw the video again, great one. Don't know if someone already mentioned: You have to keep in mind that pressure in the hull might drop because of the water cooling down the air inside the hull. When I pump up my cat and I'm on a warm, sunny beach I would put in about 10-20% more pressure than recommended, depending on the water temperature ...
@@klaus-peterriemer4478 thanks - great tip.
😂 That lil thing is barely hanging on!
She's too light almost.
Would it be more stable with modified/larger/deeper keels? Laughing along with you hitting 15+ knots!
Yeah i think some bigger keels would give more grip, but it's the compromise with the convenience on show here.
Would love to see you review the 460!
When I get one......
It looks like a lot of fun! Is trapezing with so much wobble opossible? I see Minicat sells trapeze kits.
I have a trapeze kit to try - I'll get onto that soon.
@@JoyriderTV awesome! Looking forward to it
Yes! And huge fun. We run trapeze on our Hurricane and Tiwal inflatables.
I looked into getting one of these, but they are like 10k CAD, which is too bad because it looks like it could be soo much fun to learn on!
It's as fun as it looks.
the 420 seems like it takes a while to assemble. so i got the guppy. but it was hard to steer in higher wind and the mast would fold back in high wind. Manual says these boats are only for beufort 4 max. i was afraid it would break in stronger winds
I thought I'd test the 420 to the limit - she seemed to take it well.
I'm going to see how long it takes to assemble now that I have a pump.
Exciting video as always Joe! I would like to ask if the octopus flexible tripod mount is suitable for mounting a gopro on the bridle wires/spinnaker pole or other positions on the boat ? Ill be visiting in a few weeks and id really like to record some footage
I'll talk about that and some options in tomorrow's Q+A
You should try it on an optimist!
Maybe I will!!
It looks like flying not sailing! I have the smallest one, guppy (no jib), but I have problems tacking. Could you give some advice on how to do that successfully?
I'll look at that in an upcoming video
Needs a spinnaker... Would help keep the nose up as well.
To be honest - on this outing that thought never entered my mind!!
how is to against the wind?thanks
Not so good. I'll do some kind of test in an upcoming video.
Awesome! how would it look with two people in these kind of conditions? Cheers!
As with all light catamarans. The speed would have decreased significantly, and the load on the entire rigging would have increased significantly. The second person on board - 1.5 times weight gain
Next test........
