  • My 10 month old son and I love this video!!!

  • Nice Video Guy's " Beach Cats World Network "

  • A-cat is 18 feets long.....

  • Flyer III, Wingfox....

  • Ken Fay designed the Paper Tiger with MalcomeTennant and ron given.. when the 1st Paper Tiger was made and launched by my Father Ken,at Weymouth Auckland in 1967My brother Nigel Fay and I was there. ron wasnt thinkin it would flop got drunk for 3 days.The same ron given who spent more time drunk and with my Mum.what a wanker. my Dad sent a lot of PT`s to Aust so in 1969 moved to Melbourne,at the moment I am making with help from my son Marc Fay a Carbon Fibre Foam Sandwich Vacuum Bagged PT

  • I am pretty sure the paper tiger was designed by Ron Given.

  • oh k thank you

  • Narca and inter 20 are also racing cats. they are 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. the Tornado, what i crew on, is 20ft long, 10ft wind. and the tornado is.... was.... the Olympic multihull. the hobie tiger isn't the Olympic class multihull.

  • i sail 16 feet cats, i thought 18 feet was the maximum and 18 feet is only used for contests (the hobie tiger), maby your talking about other kinds of cats, i dont know for sure but i also think 8 feet width is a lot for a 'normal' cat

  • its not supposed to have a headsail or a spin. A cat is a class of cats, single-handed, and one mainsail. there are real design rules, except it must be so many feet long (20 i think) by so many feet wide (8 i think) and there is a limit to sail area, so you could have a 50 foot tall mast and a 3 inch deep mainsail, or a 10 foot mast and 10 foot boom... its a trippy way to sail. but they are alot faster upwind then anything else. I20's can only stay in a race because of the downwind legs.
