Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of support do I get after purchase?2025-08-21T08:59:22+00:00

Every TyphoonCAT comes with a manufacturer’s warranty and dedicated after-sales support. Need parts, repairs, or advice? We’ve got you covered.

Do I need prior sailing experience?2025-08-21T08:59:33+00:00

Not at all. Many TyphoonCAT owners are first-time sailors. It’s intuitive to handle, and our guides make it easy to get started. If you’ve ever wanted to sail but thought it was too complicated or expensive, this is your entry point.

What if something gets punctured?2025-08-21T08:59:40+00:00

Drop-stitch hulls are extremely resistant to punctures — far tougher than typical inflatables. In the rare case of damage, the hulls are repairable with standard kits, and we stock spares. You’ll never be left stranded.

How many people can it carry comfortably?2025-08-21T08:59:58+00:00

The TyphoonCAT easily carries 2–3 adults (or a family mix of adults + kids). Whether you’re teaching your kids to sail, heading out solo, or racing with a friend, you’ve got plenty of room.

Can I sail it in the ocean, or just calm lakes?2025-08-21T08:41:47+00:00

Both. The TyphoonCAT was built for versatility — from lakes and rivers to coastal beach launches. As long as you follow weather and safety guidelines, you’ll enjoy smooth, confident sailing in almost any environment.

Inflatable sounds fragile… how tough is it really?2025-08-21T08:41:17+00:00

This isn’t a pool toy. The TyphoonCAT uses drop-stitch technology, the same material trusted in military-grade inflatables. Paired with a marine-grade aluminium frame, carbon mast, and Harken hardware, it’s built to last years of saltwater adventures.

What if it capsizes? Can I right it alone?2025-08-21T09:00:19+00:00

Unlike heavy beach cats, the TyphoonCAT’s lightweight carbon mast and inflatable hulls make righting it fast and manageable — even solo. No more stress about being stuck in the water.

Is it stable enough for kids and new sailors?2025-08-21T08:36:26+00:00

Absolutely. The inflatable hulls and catamaran design give you rock-solid stability, even in choppy water. Kids and beginners feel safe, while experienced sailors still enjoy the speed and responsiveness. It’s the perfect mix.

I don’t want to spend hours setting up — how fast is it, really?2025-08-21T08:36:02+00:00

We know the pain of wasting half a day rigging. That’s why the TyphoonCAT was engineered to be on the water in ~20 minutes. Most owners can beat that once they’ve practiced. More time sailing, less time sweating.

Is it really portable, or just “smaller than usual”?2025-08-21T08:35:37+00:00

The TyphoonCAT was designed for freedom. It doesn’t just save space — it eliminates trailers, storage fees, and hassle completely. Three compact bags (that fit in the boot of a hatchback) are all you need to take a real catamaran anywhere you want to sail.

Do I need a trailer?2025-08-20T09:17:26+00:00

No. It all packs into 3 bags – just load it in your boot and go.

How durable is it?2025-08-20T09:16:54+00:00

Built with marine-grade aluminium, carbon fibre, drop stitch hulls, and Harken hardware – it’s engineered for long-term use.

Can beginners use it?2025-08-20T09:16:28+00:00

Absolutely. It’s stable and forgiving, yet still exciting for advanced sailors.

Is it easy to assemble?2025-08-20T09:16:02+00:00

Yes – from bags to sailing in under 20 minutes.
