A Takacat inflatable catamaran dinghy is tested as a tender for sailing boats, evaluated against conventional inflatable RIBs and hard dinghies.Watch The Takacat packs into two bags totaling 35 kg and inflates quickly with an electric pump, making it storable below deck — the core advantage over a RIB.1:29 Its catamaran hull provides stability and a low planing threshold, meaning a small motor suffices.1:08 Testing with an Impulse Power electric motor produced 7.8 knots in normal mode and 8.1 knots at peak before the motor cut out, apparently from insufficient battery output.2:07 A Yamaha 4-stroke 2-stroke petrol motor pushed the boat to 11.5 knots.2:39 The open bow and open stern drew skepticism, but no water came aboard during testing; any ingress drains quickly, compared to the open-transom arrangement common on sailing boats.3:18 The version tested is the entry-level PVC model.3:12 With a full family load, planing is not achievable due to weight, but the hull remains stable and comfortable.3:02 The Takacat planes more easily than a standard inflatable and stows more compactly than a RIB, making it a practical compromise for cruising families.
