Some of the items and more can be stored in the sealed holds in each
hull but only open them when ashore or moored. Keep items such as
snacks and water in a bag which can easily tied behind the blokart
seat, keeping it out of the way and easy to reach.
NOTE: Please be aware that the hulls only provide total
buoyancy when closed off.

Preparation
All successful sailing excursions will start with good preparation. Both
your blokart and Katalyst are accompanied by bags for storage and
transport. Always check over all the parts of your sailing craft when
you’re packing it away to identify any damages and replace these as
required. When in doubt, seek advice from fellow sailors, your dealer or
the manufacturer.
Check weather reports from at least one source and always be
prepared for worsening weather conditions in terms of wind, rain and
temperature.
Never sail beyond your ability;
Rain can be accompanied by thunder and lightning. Avoid being
on the water with lightning at all times;
Not only does being cold wreck your enjoyment, it also hampers
your physical abilities, so dress warm enough for the time of
year.
Where applicable also check local tide tables and consult local sailors.
Many sailors have had the novel experience of sailing at good speed
and still moving backwards due to tidal conditions. Avoid being
surprised by this powerful force of nature.
