Aqua Cat 14 Catamaran
The larger version of one of the world's most popular one design catamarans brings you performance, simplicity and weight carrying capabilities not offered in other catamarans this size. Featuring wide, flat bottom hulls with turned up bows and a small keel skeg, the pontoon design is unequaled in weight carrying capacity and planing speed. The small keels have replaced the daggerboards used on the smaller Aqua Cat and allow for easy beaching thru the surf. Designed for ocean sailing or inland lakes this cat has it all. The Aqua Cat 14 is ideal for four large adults or where capabilities to support 1,000 lbs. are needed.
The boomless sail rig supported by the tubular "a" frame provides simplicity and safety not found in traditional wire shroud designs. One sheetline and a simple tiller arrangement result in sailing simplicity, fun and excitement. Weighing in at 230 lbs. and with a 6-1/2 foot beam, it can easily be car topped or trailered to your favorite spot on the beach. Constructed of hand laid fiberglass, anodized aluminum tubing and stainless steel fasteners, maintenance is at a minimum. The rudder system is durable all aluminum construction with gudgeons through bolted to aluminum plates inside the hull and features wide performance designed aluminum blades. Positive foam flotation in each hull, plus the added feature of the mast flotation ball provide a measure of confidence and safety.
Standard features include spring loaded kick up rudders, 105 sq. ft. Dacron two colored sail, a 360 quick release cleat and rudder lift systems. Available with white hulls with red side stripes and four sail combinations, the Aqua Cat offers a performance fun package not to be missed. Experience the Aqua Cat feeling.
RESORT SPECIAL VERSION OF AQUA CAT 14 CATAMARAN
Exceedingly popular as a resort rental craft, the Aqua Cat 14 has proven itself as an excellent investment. Its simplicity allows use by the most inexperienced and offers a stable, safe and fun filled package for the Hotel Guest.
American Sail manufactures a slightly slower version of this popular catamaran for use in resort locations where most sailors are novices. The resort special features a smaller sail (90 square foot), a shorter mast and eliminates the 360 main sheet cleat to require the sailor to hold the rope controlling the sail thus reducing capsize possibilities.

A New Kind Of Sailing Experience.
The Topaz 14 is an accessible but high performance cat designed for two medium to light crew. There is room on the trampoline for three for cruising.
The Topaz 14 delivers tremendous performance and is light, responsive, nimble and beautifully behaved. The Topaz Catamarans have been designed by International multihull racing legends Yves Loday and Robert White. With such sailing experience and pedigree, not to mention their proven design track records, it comes as little surprise that the Loday/White team have produced such a stunning range of cats.
Topaz 14 Features
- High foredeck with lots of volume in the bow area is great for stability, handling and taut feedback for the helm
- The built-in skeg design hulls (so no need for Daggerboards) make for simple user friendly sailing, especially on the beach
- No boom makes life easy OnBoard when teaching novice sailors
- Lock-in beams provide a rigid sailing platform and firm hull performance
- Fully adjustable simple Rudder System allows you to adjust the rake of the blade usually found on expensive Racing Catamarans
- Fully battened mainsail provides exciting performance
- Durable and manageable Dacron radial-cut mainsail and furling jib as standard
- Reefing mainsail as standard
- Single-line ‘Race’ Gennaker System is easy and effortless to use
- Twin trapeze as standard
- Hard wearing injection moulded polyethylene rudder blade
- Incredible high quality fittings including ball bearing blocks and race specification cleats as standard
- Auto-ratchet Gennaker block as standard

- Step hinged mast makes rigging quick and easy (even for one young person)
- High quality foot straps for trapezing
- Unique non-slip pattern is user friendly and provides extra grip when trapezing
- Total rigged weight of just 110kg
- TRILAM technology unique to Topper gives unrivalled strength to weight ratio and great uniformity, buoyancy, stiffness, dynamism, lightweight and durability
A great first racing catamaran
A wonderful 14 foot catamaran that is fast, fun and forgiving and is ideally suited to lighter weight crews. The Topaz 14 has a twin trapeze and a powerful 9.98m2 sail area courtesy of a large Dacron main and jib.
Tremendous stability & speed.
The 14 X option generates even higher performance with an added 10.00m2 gennaker to provide a more powered up downwind ride – while still retaining the excellent stability. The result; far more control and fewer spills than you’d expect from a cat with this much power.
