I am bored and found this little speed demon on ebay! I am thankfully in no way connected to this boat or ad.

Just thought it would be interesting to post and see the reactions. Could something like this be used to get really young kids into sailing.

Here is a video of another inflatable cat, this thing looks fun!

I know it would never beat a rigid cat but it is going pretty fast and with the dagger board it probably has decent ability to go to windward.

Comments welcome!

Here is another video of the SmartKat.

Like I said before this looks like I cool idea that could be pretty simple to set up and sail.

I was joking around. The inflatable cat on Ebay was only 5 feet long, hence the F5.

I knew that most people would disagree but the smartkat would be useful for someone that didn't have room for a full sized cat.
