A-Class

The A-Cat is one of the fastest single-handed catamarans in the world.Carbon fiber hulls and mast, in the sail most modern fibers. The A-Cat is a design class and only a few parameters such as maximum length, width and sail area (with mast) are given. Designers from all over the world have been attracted by this freedom and many have tried to build the fastest A-Cat. Many innovations from other catamarans find their origin in the A-Cat. The class is top modern and faster than ever before. Developers have managed to crack the 30 knots mark by lifting the 75kg light boat out of the water. But not everyone finds "foiling" so great, which is why there is also the classic version, the "floater", in addition to the "foilers". A fast boat needs not only the best hull, but also a good mast and a sail that meets the requirements. In addition to our standard sails, we can also build your individual sail in our sailmaker's shop and respond to your wishes. Details of construction, cut and material of your sail will be saved in our database, so that you can buy an identical sail even after several years.

Here you will find our range of A-Cat sails, from the classic cut to the state-of-the-art Decksweeper our offer covers the complete range.

All of our sails are specially tuned to the sailor and his equipment, deciding for it are:

crew weight
mast type
platform type
Foiler or floater

In addition, we also offer spinnakers for the A-Cat for our lightweight wind specialists.

EC 18 Decksweeper Pentex

The EC 18 is the simpler version of the LP 18 Membrane sail.

Our recommendation for the budget conscious regatta sailor.
