Takacat Explorer - The chosen safety and support boat of the 2010 World Rowing Championships
Unique in design The
fibreglass hull design provides a hassle-free rigid floor and deck that
eliminates much of the wear and tear associated with removable floor
boards and is ideal as an open boat or fully consoled set-up. Furthermore, replacement tubes can be ordered and refitted if required making your investment last for many years. Enjoy the ease of use,
space, stability, speed and soft ride of this amazing catamaran while using less
hp and fuel compared to a similar sized mono-hull RIB.
The Takacat Explorer series enjoys great all-round performance from airlift, rigidity and a shallow draft. Heavy-duty under-tube protection instead of the additional under-tubes allows for shallow water operations and you can land almost anywhere. Under power a fantastic blend of hydro-dynamic and aero-dynamic influences allow the boat to ride on a soft cushion of air above the water rather than pounding through it.
Versatile & fun With massive floor and front deck space the Takacat Freedom series provides more usable space in comparison to any other inflatable in their size range.
A
proven performer in multiple applications such as diving, fishing,
camping, working, hunting, tubing and skiing. The Takacat Freedom also
makes for a fantastic safety and support boat for all types of water
sports. A great choice for the beginner boatie through to the advanced.
Launching made easy
The Takacat Explorer is light-weight and durable so you can launch from many difficult locations where conventional boat launching can be dangerous or just impossible. Launching and retrieval has never been easier with the rigid hull and can easily be mastered by one person only.
The raised floor and quick drain transom eliminate the chance of being swamped. The inflatable catamaran design with its large inflatable tube construction and ability to hold no water also makes capsizing very difficult.
Nearly all boating fatalities occuring in boats under 6m involve swamping and capsizing.
