Ducky14s is a purebred sports catamaran that successfully combines the best qualities of inflatable and hard-hull designs. The “S” prefix in its name (short for “Sport”) hints at its true character. This model is primarily designed for those who appreciate speed and performance sailing.
Innovative and unique
The Ducky14s features a unique, one-of-a-kind frame design. This construction provides the essential rigidity required to convert wind energy into speed with maximum efficiency.
Advanced hulls design
The hulls of the Ducky14s feature an exceptionally efficient shape. They cannot be compared to conventional “banana-shaped” inflatable hulls or those that merely imitate the look of hard-hull counterparts. Instead, they should be compared to actual hard-hull catamarans, where a sharp bow (stem) pierces the waves with minimal resistance. At the same time, they are significantly lighter.
Light, fast, and dynamic
The handling of the Ducky14s is comparable to that of a hard-hull catamaran, while its low overall weight provides even better dynamics.
Total control and maneuverability
The large sail area easily lifts the catamaran onto one hull. Meanwhile, the dual-rudder system ensures full control even at high heel angles, unlike catamarans with only a single rudder that can lose steerage.
Perfect for solo sailing
Conceptually, the Ducky14s is similar to A-Class hard-hull catamarans. The absence of a jib (front sail) significantly simplifies handling during solo sailing. At the same time, the mainsail area can range from the standard 9.6 m² to an incredible 11.5 m²! It is a true challenge for those who crave speed and extreme performance.

DESIGN
FRAME AND TRAMPOLINE
- The unique frame design has a mast that stands on the cables! The upper and lower cables form two closed pyramids, which provide maximum rigidity and prevent twisting
- The minimum number of frame elements ensures low weight and quick assembly
- The frame material is lightweight, durable and corrosion resistant aluminum alloy
- All aluminum parts are anodized or powder coated for additional corrosion protection in seawater
- The Trampoline has a unique design and is stretched using ropes and inflatable rollers
- Inflatable trampoline rollers are comfortable for sitting and for catamaran tilt
- Trampoline material is durable PVC net that allows water to pass through and prevents the puddles formation
HULLS
- Highly efficient hull shape provides minimum resistance and maximum speed
- Sharp stem to cut through waves with minimal spray
- Large diameter and large payload
- Fast and convenient fastening to the frame
- Hulls material: heavy-duty PVC boat fabric (1000 g/m²)
- Optional: bottom hull protection against scrapes and punctures
- Optional: two-chamber floats to improve buoyancy and safety
CENTERBOARD
- Centrally located
- Necessary area, good elongation and profile ensure effective movement of the catamaran against the wind
- It has an automatic system of protection against damage when running aground or into obstacle
- Regulated degree of immersion into water of the centerboard makes it possible to move against the wind even in shallow water
- Сenterboard material is glass composite
RUDDER
- Centrally located
- It has an automatic system of protection against damage when running aground or an obstacle
- Tiller extension allows to more effectively place your weight for balancing of catamaran heeling
- Rudder blade material is glass composite
SAIL
- Base kit: 9.6 m² mainsail (103 sq ft)
- Optional: oversized mainsail up to 11.5 m² (124 sq ft)
- High elongation, shape and profile ensure high efficiency
- Boomless design for enhanced safety
- There is a main traveler for an effective sail setting
- Sail material is Dacron or Mylar
- Color: blue / green / red / gray / white
MAST
- Consists of four sections
- Features a spreader that significantly increases its strength
- Rotating mast, held in position by shrouds and stays
- Optional: the mast float provides protection against a complete capsize
ACCESSORIES
- Catamarans are equipped with blocks, sheets, stoppers and other parts from leading manufacturers
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
BOTTOM HULL PROTECTION
An additional strip of fabric glued to the bottom. It is recommended for severe operating conditions, such as: a shore with sharp stones, mollusks, and other cutting and piercing elements.
MAST FLOAT
The mast float is an inflatable buoyancy aid that prevents the catamaran from turning “mast down”. It keeps the catamaran on its side, making it much easier to right the vessel after a capsize. The float prevents the mast from hitting the seabed, protecting it from potential damage. It features an aerodynamic, streamlined shape and can be easily installed or removed without tools. Mounting hardware is included in the set.
TWO-CHAMBER FLOATS
Each of the two floats is divided into two airtight chambers. This enhances the catamaran’s buoyancy in the event of a puncture or damage to a float that results in a loss of airtight integrity.
PARKING COVER
Parking cover protects the catamaran from the sun, rain, dust and dirt.
SAIL MATERIAL AND COLOR
The basic option includes a Dacron sail with a choice of colors: blue, green, red, gray, white. There is an additional option of manufacturing a sail from Mylar. It is also possible to apply symbols or an individual logo to the sail.
