Sport Cats

Sport cats have been our thing here (Singapore) since the 80's. We started with the Hobie "way of life" and just grew from there. Although our platforms have grown in complexity and size, our roots have remained intact.

​

From our Hobie roots, we moved to the Nacra Sport Cat's then shifted into a higher gear with the lightweight Taipan then the Viper F16 from Australian High Performance Cats. After that we transitioned to the trimaran platform with the Corsair Dash.

​

During the 21st Singapore Catamaran Championship (January 2021) we refurbished our original '95 model Nacra 5.8 and as funny as it seems, that platform came out on top! In the intervening 26 years, the Aussie Nacra 5.8 has undergone some evolution which now make it a very valued performer. We love the 5.8, it's a real classic!

​

Just to follow along the rebuild and race theme... For the 2022 Catamaran Championship at Changi SC, we refurbished one of our old Nacra 5.0's and gave it a new state-of-tune. In the windy bit preceding the Championship it showed a big step up in performance. Sadly during the Championship the winds faded and so we couldn't showcase the 'new' 5.0! We've just finished the 2023 Cat Championship where the 5.0 did really well to scire 2nd overall against the daggerboard and spinnaker equipped opposition! At 30 years young the Aussie Nacra 5.0 is a tough old boot and we feel so proud that this boat has lasted so well over the years and is proving to still be current in the market!

We've gone through the complete cycle from skeg styled beach cats of the 80's to the Cee-Foil Nacra 20 Carbon of 2010's. Right now, most popular is the latest skeg boat from Nacra Australia, the Nacra 430!

 

While our used high-tech boats change hands our new cat sales are now into the no-fuss 430 style of cat. That's probably a reflection of these uncertain times where folks don't need anymore hassle and prefer their sailing to be as carefree as possible!

​

Which one is right for you?
If you want boom-less, carefree sailing get a Sport cat. If you want something that is more precise and you'll never get bored with, get a Race cat
