RS CAT14

RS Cat14

Smaller size, same fun. Enjoy beach launching, easy transport and catamaran thrills.

Overview

This boat takes the enjoyment and handling associated with beach cats to a new level. Stiffness and balance defy the cost-effective durability of the RS CAT14’s construction – making the boat perfect, not only for training and recreational sailing, but also as a true performance pathway class. We’re excited – and we think you will be too! The design protected system for joining the beams to RS CAT hulls gives increased stiffness compared to other rotomolded catamarans, with the added bonus of allowing the boat to be disassembled quickly for storage or transport.

FAQs

How does the RS CAT 14 compare to a Hobie Wave?

They are similar in some ways, and very different in others. Think of the Cat 14 as the high tech, very modern fast catamaran. The Wave is more about lazy days sailing with friends on a very simple and docile boat. The Cat 14 is designed to go faster, with more controls and more sail area to match.
