Ducky 13 is the smallest in the Ducky catamaran family.
This smallest model is suitable to introduce both children and adults to the fascinating world of sailing. It is an ideal "toy" for active recreation on water, and completely safe with minimal handling skills.
In the development of this catamaran we paid special attention to minimizing the number of parts, reducing the assembly time to 20-30 minutes without any tools. The design features no standing rigging.
The free-standing mast eliminates the possibility of the catamaran capsizing in a strong wind. Letting go of the sheet is enough to let the sail act as a wind vane.
If you are tired of sailing and prefer to just relax sunbathing, simply remove the mast from its socket to turn the catamaran into a soft cot.

Sailing fun for all - Everyone will have fun with the new HAPPY CAT LIGHT 3D:
- Fun seeking enthusiasts, who get a kick out of sailing the cat to utmost limits.
- Families with children looking for safe adventure and holidays that dreams are made of.
- Seniors who can, after their long awaited retirement, at last realize what they had always dreamt of.
The new HAPPY CAT LIGHT 3D is another success story with regard to innovative technology.
Hitherto it has been possible to produce round air-tube floats only. Years of research led to the production of three dimensional shaped cone-points.
That considerably enhances speed over unchanged wind conditions, and reduces bow wash from head-on waves. The lightest of breezes suffices to get the cat going.
The HAPPY CAT LIGHT 3D standard inventory already includes everything that elsewhere is sold as expensive extra.

A new technology and intense feelings ...
The Twincat is particularly specialised on 3 facts. Performance, ecology and resistance.
Performance : It has hulls which run to a point for a good performance, a good anti-drifting-plan, which is very good centred for making the turns more easily, as well as a good spread volume for security at the navigation, ergonomic grasps for the transport on "earth" and a non-slip broadband for the comfort on the trapeze.
Ecology : During the production there are no poisonous products emitted. It is recycable and needs just a small time for the production.
Resistance : The Twintex has technical and resistant characteristics, which were until today only used for the slight leisure sailing. This boat was build with Twintex to ensure a strong shock-proof, to increase the strength, to decrease the weight and to correspond to the standards concerning the recycling.
The Twincat has a length of 4,60m and is the first sportcatamaran with Twintex , which is meant for private persons, sailing schools, hotels as well as holiday clubs.
If you would like to have more feelings the version SPORT will also appeal to you.
It allows : D: 4 persons, C: 3 persons

Breathtaking speed, amazing control and stabilityFollowing an exhaustive research and testing programme, the NEW roto-moulded CATAMARAN from Topper International launches in 2007. The Topaz 16CX is designed by Yves Loday and Rob White. Loday and White is an International CAT Team of the very highest calibre, so it is no surprise that they have produced such a stunning new CAT.
The 16CX provides exhilarating performance. As you'd expect the 16CX is unashamedly fast. Yet she can easily be handled by inexperienced crew. The responsiveness resembles that of an Olympic racing machine. Yet the Topaz 16CX is exceptionally stable and forgiving.
The 16CX can handle any conditions. Tested in a demanding holiday company environment by Sunsail, the Topaz 16CX just keeps coming back for more punishment. The hulls are constructed using the now legendary TRILAM roto-moulding technique used on the incredibly successful Topaz range of sailboats so the 16CX is incredibly robust and resilient.
The 16CX's unique hull shape makes light work of big waves even putting many larger Cats in the shade. The hulls incorporate skegs rather than daggerboards so beaching the CAT is safe and simple. And the lightweight TRILAM Metalicene hulls are easy to handle ashore and require virtually no maintenance.
The rig has been kept relatively simple, so the Topaz 16CX can be quickly and easily rigged and de-rigged. In high winds, mainsail reefing is an option and the jib can be furled in seconds.
All fittings on the 16CX provide supreme efficiency and outstanding durability. The controls, from raising the mainsail and jib to handling the mainsheet loads, are geared so that even young or lighter crew can handle them comfortably in up to a force 4-5. The rudder system is shared with many of the top end racing cats so it has been tried and tested to extreme levels.
All in all, owning the 16CX catamaran is plain sailing for an extremely wide range of ages and abilities - and what incredible sailing it is!
