XCAT is super easy to transport and assemble even for just one person. The heaviest piece weighs just 17.5 kg / 38.5 lbs, by comparison a sack of potatoes weighs 20 kg / 44 lbs. XCAT Saves you the cost and hassle trailers and boat slips and frees you to sail and row anywhere, not just places with boat ramps. In the winter you can safely store the hulls outdoors but they are small enough to fit in a basement or garage along with the rest of the gear that is about 6ft long. Compare this with traditional dinghies that need to be winterized, require more maintenance, is not easily portable, does not feature rowing, takes up more space and suffers from being left outdoors the whole time.

Awards, Press & Customer Reviews
SAIL Magazine - 2017
"This is an exceptionally versatile and fun little boat from Austria that took our judges entirely by surprise."
"...offers plenty of excitement. And when the wind dies away you can keep going by deploying the boat’s exquisitely engineered double-jointed folding oars..."
"With a boat as easy to transport and assemble as this one, there’s no reason not go sailing whenever you see fit"
Michael (Canada) - 2017
"You put the XCAT on your car and any water you see while driving - ocean, lake, river or pond - you can stop and go there, quickly, and in perfect safety."
"I've been 25km offshore in Lake Ontario, in 2-3 metre waves, almost out of sight of land and felt very safe."
"I even bought a house on the ocean, just so I can use the XCAT more often.
This is one of the best purchases I have ever made."

Rich (California) - 2017
"The XCAT is fast, easy to rig & de-rig, NO trailed needed, easy to learn on, much less likely to capsize or pitch poll when sailing fast. I'm no longer concerned about sailing solo in the ocean. I'm very old and I knew my days were numbered rigging & de-rigging the Hobie 16. This XCAT is much easier to assemble & has extended my days of sailing by a couple of years."
