Sea Eagle 14' SailCat
Now... even first-timers slice the waves like old salts! Sailing is one
of those sports that appears simple but which, in reality, is deceptively
complicated and difficult to master. That’s why we created the Sea Eagle
SeaCat 14sc — the first inflatable sailboat that’s SIMPLE & FUN for beginners
and families to sail.
Included:
- Sail rig (with mast step, mast, lateen rig & rudder system)
- AB253 oars
- 2 boat cushions
- SB2 nylon storage bag
- Carry bag
- Repair kit
Super-simple Lateen Rig guarantees sailing success
Other catamaran sailboats’ rigging is a confusing web that no beginner can
hope to handle confidently or safely without years of practice and expensive
sailing lessons. Unlike other catamaran designs, the SailCat uses a Lateen
Rig - the simplest and easiest to use sail rig design around. Just two lines —
one to raise the sail and one to trim it — mean new sailors, even pre-teens,
return from a day on the waves with smiles on their faces.
Exclusive Folding Frame means No Trailering & Lightning-Fast rigging
The SailCat packs neatly in two bags that fit easily in your car trunk so
there’s no trailer hassle or expense and no waiting in line at a boat launch.
Simply unpack and unroll the SailCat, inflate it, and go sailing. You’ll go from
your car trunk to out on the water in under 12 minutes. Sea Eagle’s
revolutionary patent-pending FOLDING FRAME makes it possible. Rugged but
light aluminum slats and slide-in Underbars form an ingenious, integrated frame.
Simply unroll it and inflate it — as the hulls inflate, air pressure clamps all
components tightly together making the SailCat rigid and tight as a drum.
Just 97 lbs. but it's all muscle
Tipping the scales at just 97 lbs. fully rigged, the SailCat is easy to
transport packed in its bags or even fully rigged. Its trim weight and twin
catamaran hulls make it sit high in the water which reduces drag, making it a
nimble and responsive sailing craft that’s simple and fun to pilot. But
don’t let the low weight fool you; this is one rugged little sailboat. You can
SAIL ANYWHERE with confidence in the SailCat — rivers, ponds, lakes, even in the
ocean. The hulls are made of 1,000 denier “crocodile hide” material, the same as
we use in our high-performance Sport Runabouts. The mast and all hardware are
made of nautical-grade, anodized aluminum — a highly specialized alloy that
combines light weight, tremendous strength, and high resistance to corrosion
even from salt water.
Maintenance Free - spend your time sailing, not scrubbing
A light hosing at the end of the sailing season is about all the maintenance
your SailCat will ever need. And unlike fiberglass hulls that grow dull over
time and require regular scrubbing and touchups, the SailCat’s inflatable hulls
keep their like-new good looks for years and years…effortlessly.
You don't have to be a "serious sailor" to enjoy all the pleasures of
sailing!
Sailboats of the same size and class as the SailCat cost $12,000 and more —
a justifiable price, perhaps, for those deeply dedicated to sailing. But what
about those who want to try out sailing…or who sail infrequently…or who
otherwise can’t justify the expense of an ordinary sailboat? At 1/6 the
price of comparable sailboats, the SailCat is an extraordinary value for the
casual, first-time, or family sailor. It’s an easy purchase to justify — not
just because the price is low but because you get more for your money than with
any hard-hull boat: all the fun of sailing with extra quality, convenience,
portability, and warranty protection. Plus, the SailCat comes 100% complete with
twin 14 ft. hulls, bench seats, 45 sq. ft. of sail, lateen rigging, two nylon
carry bags, repair kit, and foot pump.
You won't find a better value
You could spend $12,000 or more for a 14' catamaran sailboat, but you won't
get the convenience, portability and ease of sailing that the Sea Eagle SailCat
gives - for much less money.
