Inflatable Catamaran? [Show Us Your Dinghy] - Takacat LX Series
June 12, 2021 by Emily & Clark's Adventure | Language: EN Play Time: 00:13:47 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
WhatToday on “Show Us Your Dinghy,” we interview Karl about his Takacat LX series inflatable catamaran.
Karl talks about what he likes and dislikes, the motor he uses, and whether he would recommend the Takacat as a cruising dinghy.
“Show Us Your Dinghy” is an non-sponsored series. We started these interviews because we were looking for a new dinghy for our own boat. It’s a big decision, and there are lots of possibilities! So we began interviewing our friends about why they chose their particular dinghies. We hope “Show Us Your Dinghy” helps other sailors learn about the many options available, and choose a dinghy that is perfect for them.
