Hirondelle 7M MK II

I did significant work on this rare classic English catamaran before bringing her up the ICW from Savannah to the Chesapeake Bay. There we meandered northward exploring coves and inlets that most boats could not enter. When we reached the top of the Bay we headed through the C&D Canal, down the Delaware Bay, and back inside from Cape May to Manasquan Inlet. There we headed outside up to and around Sandy Hook. I and my crew of 1-2 spent three comfortable months on our 1,000+ mile journey. There is 5-8” of headroom in both hulls and sitting headroom in the bridgedeck salon (which converts into a double berth).…

HopYacht 30

The Hopyacht is a brand-new concept in sailing. This vessel is an all-electric sailing catamaran, suited for a couple who wants to do easy, coastal and protected-waters cruising. The Hopyacht offers a combination of comfort and liveability in this ultra-easy-to-handle boat under 30 feet length, with a focus on relaxation and pleasure, all with ZERO C02 emissions!

This diminutive multihull takes a fresh approach in several areas, notably its propulsion, both sail and power. The boat is 100% electric with twin ePropulsion Evo 6.0 pod drives that provide a 40-mile range at 4.5 knots over 10 hours, or a 16-mile range at 7 knots over about two and a half hours.…

Fountaine Pajot 35 Tobago

Cat Alee is a great example of an affordable small catamaran that is ocean capable, well built and swift. The newer Beta marine engines will give confidence to travel safely in all conditions.

Owner Statement

I Found Cat Alee in a state of disrepair in the back of a Newport, RI boatyard in 2018. Her 3 most redeeming qualities were a sound hull, brand new engines (professionally installed), and custom davits capable of mounting solar panels.

After a 4-month extensive retrofit, all wiring and electronics were updated, hull painted, and a new aluminum double-hull dinghy with Tohatsu 9.9hp outboard was added.…

MiniCat 310 Features & Benefits

310 windowed sails.jpeg__PID:6db7780b-21af-470f-a9e8-a89fcdc8a938

Windowed Sails

The jib and main sails on the MiniCat boats all have windows in them. This allows you to be more aware of your surroundings. Even with the colorful sails, sometimes other boaters are not paying attention. These windows allow you to see 360° and be responsive to your surroundings.

310 furler.jpeg__PID:a9385020-0d77-4672-b422-488517a05b77

Continuous Line Roller Furling Jib

Your MiniCat 310 models is equipped with a continuous line roller furler. This allows you to put away the jib sail, on either tack without any worry or possibility of a snag, clog, or line override that the single-line furlers are notorious for. You can also store your jib furled (folded in half) to make boat set-up and take-down quicker and easier.

square top 310.jpeg__PID:1b8a11b0-4fc5-4c07-9fa2-aab23d134823

Fully Battened Square-top Mainsail

The square-top mainsail provides this beachcat with more than enough power to have a fun day on the water. Fully battened for superior sail shape, even in light winds. The 310 can easily reach speeds up to 10 knots and some have even pushed their boat faster than 12 knots!

310 frame.jpeg__PID:f8f81d7b-1728-44f3-ac1a-82a7933e2c70

Powder Coated Lightweight Frame

MiniCats are built with lightweight aluminum frames that have been powder coated using techniques that are time tested and durable. The rugged, long-lasting frame uses the lightweight and durable materials for both transport ease and sailing performance.

Optional wheeled storage bags are easy to transport and move around without heavy lifting.

Ergonomic Trampoline

The MiniCat 310 has a feature rich trampoline, complete with -Plenty of places to hold on with reinforced handles in each corner. -There are pockets for the halyards and even a place to clip drybags in a snag free pouch. -There is a hiking strap long enough for at least 2 pairs of feet and bungee lacing at the base of the mast for stowing larger gear. -There are also diagonal webbed straps sewn on the trampoline to provide extra grip.

310 keels.jpeg__PID:8161902d-36df-4aa7-aa1c-06509db7f8f8

Low Aspect Ratio Keels

The MiniCat 310 is equipped with long shallow keels under each hull which contribute to the MiniCat’s ease of use and great sailing characteristics. The keels allow the 310 to be sailed in extremely shallow waters. Only fly a hull when you want; the keels resist the rotation of the hulls making this boat harder to capsize than other beach cats! The keels are set aft of the mast, which allows the 310 to tack much quicker than other hard hulled catamarans.

heytex 310.jpeg__PID:2c702bd0-c33d-4c47-800a-dd365bcd1b8a

Heytex 5509 PVC

All MiniCats, including the MiniCat 420, have hulls made in Germany with Heytex 5509 PVC. This is top shelf PVC and has a longer life expectancy than typical boat PVC.

ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus Long Shaft

ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus Long Shaft

Three reasons you need epropulsion for your boat: clean, easy, quiet..

With a seamlessly attachable lithium battery and outstanding efficiency, the Spirit 1.0 Plus is a great alternative to rowing or a noisy gas outboard. The Spirit 1.0 Plus can do everything a 3 HP outboard motor can, but is lighter, cleaner, quieter, and more convenient.

Easily push a dinghy to and from shore or us it to reliably and efficiently dock small to medium racing sailboats. When needed, the large prop provides more low RPM thrust than its equivalent gas outboard. 

ePropulsion has mastered the direct drive motor. The only noise this motor makes is the sound of the boat's hull passing through the water, it is literally quieter than a whisper (no high pitched whine like other motors on the market).

Note: Because many customers choose to purchase multiple batteries, the Spirit 1.0 Plus does not include a battery pack. Be sure to add one or more to your cart below.

Package Includes:

ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus Long Shaft, integrated tiller, on-board computer, GPS-based range calculation, Motor Mount, and 2x emergency magnetic stop key.

ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Battery

ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Battery

Lightweight - Weighing only 19 pounds, anyone can carry and install this battery.

Efficient - On one charge you can easily do 22+ miles at almost 5 mph!

Maintenance Free - Sealed, watertight construction ensures never need to do anything but charge the battery for the life of your motor!

Floats - If you accidentally drop this pricey e-tank, no worries, it floats!

Powerful - Holds 1275Wh of battery capacity.

Buy more than one battery to extend your cruising range.

Resources & Support

I bought my 310 last year, and couldn't wait for it to arrive...only to get too busy to try it out. Just took it on Lake Conroe for its maiden voyage. What a BLAST! Even with light winds, she was easy to manuever, from launch off a dock, to docking at the end. The cam lock on the rudder snapped open early on, and being a newbie, I just tied it off lightly. Found that this part needs to be locked with a screwdriver. Otherwise, a flawless trip. I can't wait to get back out there on a windier day. Assembly was easy, although being new to sailing, it took me a little longer the first time. I was impressed with the build quality, materials, and fit. It looks great on the water, too! I'm very happy with my purchase, and look forward to years of sailing fun and travel.

I bought my 310 from a Red Beard customer that wanted to get a Guppy also from Red Beard. I've had it out five times now, it's now second nature to set up. The first time took an hour, second at least 40 minutes, but now I've got it down to a half hour. The tear-down is very fast, 20 minutes tops. I don't bother squishing the pontoons into the carry bag. I put everything else in the carry bag, and just set the deflated pontoons in the back of the car.

Sailing performance is adequate. I haven't had it up on one pontoon yet, I figure the trapeze would be needed anyway. I had my adult daughter come along on a sail on Lake Michigan recently. The boat performed well in 5knot wind. Lots of swells, and the boat could maintain a tack. The boat isn't good at all to windward, nor did I expect it to be. Navigating the river I launch in is tough, as would be any dual-hull boat.

I'm really happy to have a boat that I don't have to deal with a trailer and that I can launch about anywhere, this is doubly so since I don't pack the entire boat in the bag. Two or three trips from the car, I have enjoyed a small lake nearby, or I can launch from a beach rather than the river-access I spoke about having issues navigating above. (Wind always blowing up river).

I downsized from a larger boat to the Minicat 310 and love it. I've been able to enjoy local lakes and waterways whenever opportunity knocks and so I sail more now than before. Not having to manage a trailer or need a boat ramp to launch means I can drop it in anywhere. No longer need to park a trailer or store a boat outside. I slide it into our compact SUV to bring it along on camping trips and Ocean City whenever we go. Easy set up and thoughtful engineering (few loose parts and only one wingnut to have to keep track of). I was able to teach my daughter to sail on her own in the lakes around Columbia, Maryland.

In two packs you can take it as luggage on an intercontinental plane, and with all that it is still a sporty and exciting sailing boat. Being a Cat is also useful on a pond with shallow grounds. I have sailed in ponds and rivers and seas and in the small boat section there are none better than the 310. Fabulous. And thank you Redbeard for an excellent service.

MiniCat Sailboat Warranty MiniCat offers a 24-month warranty on the entire sailboat and a 7-year warranty on the hull skin material. These warranties cover material and workmanship defects that affect the performance of the boat. To register your boat, click here.
