About the MINICAT 310
Low Aspect Ratio Keels Two versions: Sport - Includes jib furler Super - No furler.
The MiniCat 310 is a compact catamaran designed by Martin Horak and built by MiniCat (CZ) starting in 2007. With a hull count listed as unknown, this model represents a niche entry in the micro-cruising segment, characterized by its fractional sloop rig with a rotating spar.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day sailing, beaching, and trailerable transport due to its extreme light displacement of 77.0 lb and compact 10.17 ft length overall. It appeals to single-handers or couples seeking a low-cost, easy-to-store vessel for sheltered waters rather than heavy weather cruising.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 4.32 and a very low displacement of 77.0 lb, the MiniCat 310 is not designed for bluewater passage-making and is strictly limited to coastal and protected waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other trailerable micro-cats like the Hobie 16 or Lagoon 20, though the MiniCat 310 distinguishes itself with a fractional sloop rig and significantly lower displacement. Its role aligns with small, stable day-sailors rather than traditional monohull cruisers of similar length.
