MINICAT 420

USER‘S GUIDE

Never exceed the maximum permitted load when 

loading the boat. Always load the boat carefully and 

allocate the individual weight according to the design 

of the boat. Avoid the location of heavy objects at the 

top. Disregarding these instructions may cause the boat 

to capsize and may result in damage and injury. When 

sailing always enure that personal items are secured to 

the boat.

The maximum permitted load includes the weight of all 

persons onboard and any accessories, personal items, 

equipment or baggage.

Always check your MINICAT before sailing!

Perform a visual check of all parts of the boat before each 

sailing.

Protection against falling overboard and how 
to get back on the boat:

Sit only in the places made for sitting. These are the parts 

of the frame at the rear half of the floats.  The stability of 

the boat will be reduced if you sit anywhere else.

It is necessary to protect the trampoline from damage, 

especially rupture by sharp objects, or from careless 

 

handling.

For ease of access onto the boat from the water, there are 

fabric handles on both sides of the floats.            

ASSEMBLY OF 

YOUR MINICAT

Carefully remove the individual parts 

from the bag/s and place on a flat 

surface, ideally on a grass area to 

avoid any damage.

Assemble the frame with the tram-

poline as shown in the figure. As-

semble in the  upside-down position 

(so the frame is on top of the tram-

poline).

Fix the keel fins on the bottom of 

the floats (un-inflated). 

Push the fins into the pockets on 

the floats firmly.

Pass  the rope through the lugs 

on the bottom of the trampoline 

and  tighten it firmly. Fix the end 

of the rope to the notch. This will 

help you stretch the trampoline.
