The Elite is for the experienced sailor and the next level in performance, style and class. This sailboat has all the features of the Esprit, but it includes a carbon fibre mast, rudder and bowsprit. Top of the line!
Accessory Pro Tips
The MiniCat 460 is the most customizable boat in this market segment with a range of accessories for all types of sailors!
Do you plan on racing? You should consider at Trapeze Set, Rolling Genna, a Storm Sail and a Wind Flag.
Are you a leisure sailor? The Additional Front Trampoline is the perfect spot to stow your beach towels, picnic basket and beer. An Inflatable Seat and a set of Neoprene Shroud Covers make it a little more comfortable as you catch the wind and some sun on that beautiful summer day. The Ladder makes it easy to get in and out of the boat when it’s time to take a dip.
Will your boat be stored outside? Keep your sailboat looking new and beautiful! A Protective Boat Cover, Protective Rudder Cover and Float Supports protect your investment from the sun, dings, scratches and kids that think it is a bounce house.
Would you like to reduce set up time? You can carry the boat to the beach and inflate it with the hand pump that is included with the boat. Or you could speed up the job with a High Volue Inflator to quickly inflate the boat to around 1 psi. With this pump, you will still need to use the hand pump to inflate the hulls to pressure. A Pressure Gauge will enable you to make sure that the boat is inflated to the proper pressure for peak performance. You could also set the pressure and forget about it with a Automatic Inflator. Once the boat is inflated and ready to go, roll it down to the beach with one hand using a Transport Trolley. *New for 2023, check out the Trampoline Set. This clever device will knock 10 minutes off your assembly time.
Are you learning or teaching? You will probably flip the boat if you get caught by a gust of wind and don't know what to do. (Hint: just release the main sail!) If you do flip the boat, it is no big deal. It is easy to flip the boat back over, especially if you have a Mast Float.
Will you travel with your MiniCat? Wheeled bags are a no brainer and a must for train staions and airports. Purchase this as a bag replacement upgrade when you buy your boat and save 60%.
Are you sailing far from shore or in spotty wind conditions? We highly recommend a Telscopic Paddle for those pesky times when mother nature decides not to cooperate. Depending on the extent of your adventure, it may be essential that you have an outboard motor as an alternate propulsion method. If this is your plan, you will need an Engine Support to go with a small long shaft outboard motor. If you don't already have an outboard, we suggest a Torqeedo 903 Long as an elegant companion to your MiniCat.
