Notes
Very
suitable as a river touring raft with storage space for
camping kit (or with extra passengers seated on the floor),
and use on flat water and on rivers Grades 1-3. With
sufficient
experience
with this Cat, Grades 4-5 can be tackled.
Paddlers are seated on top of the main tubes with both
legs in the raft.
The cataraft design makes river touring much easier than
the heavyweight rafts which has a fair bit of drag. Another
advantage over rafts of similiar size is the total carrying
weight is so much lighter and has a more compact backpack.
Light
and very nimble. Kneeling seats allows for advanced
paddle strokes and provides ability to raise the bow
as
needed. Paddlers will be able to reach out further with
the paddle,
far more than any other type raft.
Main tubes are flat-topped.
The kneeling style may require rests at intervals.
EG stretch legs if unaccustomed to kneeling for long
periods.
With sufficient experience on this craft, river grades
4-5 can be mastered.
The deck width by the knees is rather narrow, so if you are
XXL and very tall, please discuss available options. Existing
kneeling seat is comfortable for paddlers up to 250lbs /
113kg and 6'6" / 2m,
NOTE - the straps on the kneeling seats / saddles
and foot rests has been changed - photos on this site are
of the previous design / version. New design is
more comfortable and safer

is a speeded up demonstration of unpacking and inflation
of the SportCat-2 (Called Zelgear's BeaveR-2 in USA). Full
assembly
process with the included hand pump takes approximately 15 minutes.
We
sped up the film clip x30 to make it more fun to watch. Zelgear
is the brand name in USA. The TourCat-2 has larger side tubes
and an extra cross tube, with no foot rests - approx extra
5 minutes
inflation time.
