Ducky 13 Inflatable Catamaran

Ducky 13

The smallest in the Ducky catamaran family with assembly from 25mins and 15mins disassembly!

It is intended for both children and adults who want to get acquainted with the fascinating world of sails.  This is an ideal "learner" for outdoor activities, absolutely safe even with minimal control skills.

The iconic design of the Ducky 13 frame, the absence of cables, and a free-standing mast make the assembly process as simple as possible, fast and tireless.  Even a beginner can assemble it in 25 minutes!  When disassembled, the catamaran is very compact and can be easily transported even inside a passenger car.  Depending on the configuration, the weight of a fully equipped catamaran starts at 35kg.

When designing this catamaran, special attention was paid to safety. The rig was done so that as the wind becomes stronger the mast will bend and drop the extra air off to prevent rollover.  In сase of strong gusts of wind, it is enough to release the sheet and the sail will get into wind-vane position by itself.

If the catamaran somehow capsized and the sail laid down on water, then a float on the mast will serve as additional protection against a complete rollover.  The crew is able to - without assistance - restore the catamaran to an even keel. The absence of a boom in the rig is another feature that makes the catamaran as injury safe as possible.

Large size of trampoline – 1.8 × 1.8 m, provides the crew with ample accommodation and can also serve as an excellent platform for sunbathing on the shore.   Also outboard engine with a power of 2.2 hp can be installed on the catamaran.  For this, in the additional equipment, a motor bracket is provided, which is attached to the aft beam.

Design

  • FRAME AND TRAMPOLINE - The unique design of the frame has a minimum number of elements, that provides for low weight and quick assembly.  There are no cables in the frame design.  Spacious trampoline of 1.8 x 1.8 m.  The frame material is lightweight, durable and corrosion resistant aluminum alloy.  All aluminum parts are anodized or powder coated for additional corrosion protection in seawater.  Trampoline material is durable PVC net that allows water to pass through and prevents the puddles formation. 
  • FLOATS - Highly efficient float shape provides minimum resistance and maximum speed. Sharp stem makes wave travel smooth with minimal spray. Large diameter and large payload.  Each float has two sealed sections that provide added safety.  Fast and convenient fastening to the frame with straps.  The floats material is a durable boat PVC fabric with 1000 g/sq.m weighing.  Extra bottom reinforcement for harsh environments. 
  • CENTERBOARD - Centrally located.  Necessary area, good elongation and profile ensure effective movement of the catamaran against the wind.  It has an automatic system of protection against damage when running aground or into obstacle.  Regulated degree of immersion into water of the centerboard makes it possible to move against the wind even in shallow water.  Сenterboard material is glass composite.
  • RUDDER - Centrally located.  It has an automatic system of protection against damage when running aground or an obstacle.  Tiller extension allows to more effectively place your weight for balancing of catamaran heeling.  Rudder blade material is glass composite.
  • MAINSAIL - High elongation, shape and profile ensure high efficiency.  There is no boom, which is especially important for the safety of children and beginners.  There is a main traveler for an effective sail setting.  It puts on a mast by pocket.  Sail material is Dacron or Mylar.
  • MAST - It is freestanding, swivel, does not have cables, and is installed into a sleeve base.  When the wind intensifies, it bends and discards excess wind, which is especially important for the safety of children and beginners.  Consists of three sections.  The mast float provides protection against a complete overturn.
  • ACCESSORIES - Catamarans are equipped with blocks, sheets, stoppers and other parts from leading manufacturers.

Ducky 13 Mast Float

MAST FLOAT

The mast float is an inflatable tank that prevents the catamaran from turning the mast upside down. The float will keep the catamaran on a "side position" and will facilitate the righting of the catamaran to an even keel, in case of capsizing. It will not allow the mast to sink below the surface and prevents damage. The mast float is streamlined. If necessary, it is easily mounted and dismantled without the use of tools; fixators included.
