Inflatable Catamaran
The inflatable catamaran has made things so much more convenient for enthusiasts such as myself. I really have to give it up to the people that are involved in developing and marketing these ingenious bits of gear. It has opened up many new possibilities for people such as me and other lovers of the sport/hobby.
As the name suggests, it is a catamaran that can be deflated and inflated when and where needed. This has allowed for the gear to be used in many different manners and more accessible to the general public at large.
If using or owning a catamaran previously was difficult due to its sheer size and weight other than issues with transporting and storage, all this has now been a thing of the past with foldable catamarans.
People like you and me can now have a catamaran fitted in the trunk of the car and used for weekend fishing trips and other water-related activities.
The fact remains that these catamarans; due to its sheer broadness, stability and easy manoeuvrability at all speeds make it ideal to be used by different parties in all kinds of circumstances other than for sports and leisure. It has been widely used by/for Search & Rescue, Reserve Units, Army, Coast Guard, Fire & Rescue and Navy among others.
It is most ideally used during floods when all land roads are inaccessible due to the sheer volume of water. Often, it is the speed in which these catamarans are able to access distressed parties that makes it such a vital mode of transportation during emergencies. In addition to saving lives, supplies including food and medicines can be distributed during these times.
With continuous research & development, these catamarans have been known to include new features periodically. This increases its design including the speed, manoeuvrability as well as other new and revolutionary features that can increase its appeal to consumers in general.
This will mean that you and I could potentially be facing with catamarans with a better physical built, better power (high speed) and better handling of sharp corners at the same time.
In addition, the smaller engines mean that less fuel would be required; allowing for better cost-efficiency (even more savings for us). What I found interesting was the prospect of having a catamaran that offered precise reverse manoeuvrability as well as rowing capabilities.
The truth is the majority of inflatable catamarans do not offer the option for precise reverse manoeuvre.
Does all this excite you? Logically speaking, it really ought to. With all the above features, it really is quite a task to contain the excitement.
Yet, I haven't even half begun to talk about its features and advantages. With its rising popularity, you can expect to find many suppliers of such catamarans in the market. You are bound to be able to find one that suits your needs, purpose and not forgetting the size of your wallet no doubt!
