HURRICANE

NEW 2017

STORMY LIKE A HURRICANE The HURRICANE is the fastest HAPPY CAT ever produced. Equipped like a professional highperformance catamaran, it fulfils every requirement of experienced regatta and long distance sailors. It represents the maximum possible performance from a small, collapsible leisure sailing catamaran: • The HURRICANE has longer hulls than the

EVO, making it even faster.

• The hulls have an even larger diameter, offe-

ring even greater buoyancy.

• Two reinforcing bow braces stiffen the hulls’

bows against even the strongest wave impacts.

• The new steering system has two fixed lock-in

positions instead of uphaul and kicking straps.

• The mast foot ball joint optimises overall main-

sail profile with easy mast rotation and also enhances propulsion.

• The rotation limiter enables precise adjust-

ments to mast rotation.

• The six-fold roller block reduces main sheet

tractive effort 6:1 and enables “sailing by hand”, even in stronger winds.

• With the 3:1 jib halyard pulley, the headsail

can be set with ease and maximum rigging rigidity achieved.

• In addition, the HURRICANE also offers sto-

rage facilities in the stern for considerable luggage and a rear-mounted engine. (Accessories)

EVO or HURRICANE? The HURRICANE is the right choice for you if: • you require the maximum possible speed.

• you need more storage space on board (e.g. for increased load capacity when cruising).

• you want to fit a motor behind the stern canopy.

• the price-weight ratio isn’t a consideration for you.

• you always want the most modern and valuable model.

6. Strong wind sail set for NEO, EVOLUTION, HURRICANE: Headsail 2 m² + mainsail 4.5 m² = 6.5 m². Enables 1 wind strength compared to other sail sizes in the series.

900,-

1. Anti-capsize Buoy: Unlike an anti-capsize cushion that only deploys on contact with water, the anti-capsize buoy is permanently inflated. It is fixed to the masthead and rotates along with the mast. The advantage of this is that, following capsizing, there are no costs for a new trigger capsule. 75 x 26 cm, 1 kg, 22 kg buoyancy 290,2. Wind direction indicator / Shroud burgee: Attached to the shrouds (in place of a burgee on the masthead), both on the left (red) and right (green).

Precisely indicates wind direction at sight level. With fastening loops for height adjustment and fast assembly.

39,3. Main sheet roller block: For safety reasons, the main sheet should not be fixed in high winds, and the catamaran should instead be steered “by hand”.

The three-roller block reduces traction force by 6:1. Consists of an upper clew block and a lower block for the traveller. 7.5 metre main sheet. (as standard for HURRICANE)

250,4. Jib halyard pulley: For safety reasons, the main sheet should not be fixed in high winds, and the catamaran should instead be steered “by hand”.

The three-roller block reduces traction force by 6:1. Consists of an upper clew block and a lower block for the traveller. 7.5 metre main sheet. (as standard for HURRICANE) 80,5. Strong wind mainsail EVOLUTION, HURRICANE: Mainsail design like others in series, but scaled down from 4

8 m² to 6 m². Total sail size 9.5 m² instead of 11.5 m² .

750,-

7. Gennaker rescue system: Using the trumpet ring, the gennaker can be quickly raised and subsequently recovered. The gennaker tack is attached to the front of the bowsprit extension, to enhance performance when used in addition to the jib. The gennaker is stored along the bowsprit, in a 180 cm long pocket. Set composed of: bowsprit extension incl. trumpet ring and storage pocket, retrieval lines, pulleys for tack line 300,-
