Inflatable Catamarans For Fishing And Sailing
Inflatable catamarans are available in two basic forms:
pontoon boats and sailboats. Sailing catamarans can be inflated and ready to
sail in about thirty minutes. They come with two carrying cases that strap
easily to the top of a car or SUV. Sailing catamarans can be found with either a
four horsepower motor or an electric motor. The speed with the motor is about
twice as fast with a gas powered motor as with an electric. The sailing speed of
a catamaran is between seven and ten miles an hour, depending on the model and
sails.
Catamarans and inflatable pontoon boats come in several sizes. A fifteen
foot catamaran is a good family sized sail boat. It will hold four adults with
plenty of room to store gear. The sail system on these boats is easy to learn.
Some manufacturers include instructional video tapes with boating tips. A
knowledgeable dealer can help answer questions and get you started. Some will
give you a demonstration of set up and take you on a short sail to help you get
the feel of the boat, ask about this service. If you love sailing and have
wanted to teach your kids, the inflatable version of the catamaran or pontoon
boat is the perfect choice for teaching your children the basics of sailing.
They are easy to handle and impossible to top over.
Inflatable Catamarans
Inflatable boats are great for fishing trips. They are sturdy and nearly
impossible to tip. A pontoon catamaran can get you to the most remote areas
where the good fish hide out. When selecting an inflatable, consider how many
people will be boating with you. Two seat models come with swivel seats and
others seat up to four adults. If you prefer to stand when you fish, these boats
are perfect. They are sturdy and won’t tip when you are wrestling the “big one.”
You have a choice in motors for your pontoon boat. Some models take gas powered
outboard motors up to four horsepower. Others work well with a small electric
motor. Some catamarans and pontoon boats can be powered by either one, the
choice is yours. The benefit of an electric motor is the lack of smelly gasoline
when you pack your inflatable in your car for travel.
