Cat 14

This boat takes the fun and easy handling associated with beach catamarans to a new level. The stiffness and balance, together with the proven durability of the RS CAT14's construction, make the boat perfect not only for training and recreational sailing but also as a genuine gateway to high performance. It's an exciting boat – and we think you'll agree! The RS CAT system, designed to join the beams to the hulls, gives greater stiffness than other rotomoulded catamarans, with the added advantage that the boat can be quickly dismantled for storage or transport. Durability, comfort and excitement are the hallmarks of every RS CAT.
