520 Explorer

The GE BTP2, made by Scoprega Italy, parent company of Bravo China, is the next generation of the popular BTP12 manometer electric inflator. Now provides 18psi of max pressure instead of 14psi with slightly quieter motors. Making inflating (and deflating) your MiniCat pontoons, or Tiwal/DinghyGo dropstich floors, or even stand-up paddleboards quick and effortless. Still paired with Dakota Lithium’s 12V 10AH high-performance/long-life LiFePO4 battery with enough power to last 5 inflation/deflation cycles between charges (almost double the power of competing products). Did we mention that the battery has an 11-year warranty? And that we carry select replacement parts? This particular configuration of pump accessories is exclusive to Sailing Awaits. Unique valve adapter has two different spacers to accommodate short, medium, or long-style Halkey-Roberts valves. Adjustable screw stem actuates valve for twist lock seal. Highly recommended for 420 and 460. Inflates a 420 pontoon in 4 minutes flat and auto stops when set pressure is reached, letting you focus on rigging. Time saved on assembly means more time on the water. Important consideration: adapter has a unique actuator stem to depress the Halkey-Roberts valve unlike competing products. This feature enables the precise pressure to be achieved inside the chamber without airflow obstruction by the valve.

Not just any tent, the “Pod” is designed and manufactured by MiniCat specifically for the Explorer and can be used aboard while underway or on-shore. Sized perfectly for the foredeck and secured by four straps, one per corner, allowing for easy installation and removal. Made of heavy duty TPE coated polyester fabric lower and lightweight polyurethane coated ripstop nylon fabric upper with sealed seams and duralumin rods that provides good sea, wind, and rain resistance. All compactly packed in a lightweight bag. Transparent windows provides 360 degrees of visibility. Ventilation holes are complemented by bug screens. Interior storage pockets and storage net to keep things tidy. Designed for 2 adults.

Designed and manufactured by MiniCat specifically for the Explorer. An alternative to the Pod, this storage bag measures 190 x 160 cm when empty, and ~170 x 140 cm when filled. Secured to the foredeck with four straps, one per corner. Heavy duty bottom resists tears with reinforced transparent cover provides view of contents. Dual 8mm zippers provides easy access to any corner of the bag without unzipping the entire cover.

Designed and manufactured by MiniCat specifically for the Explorer. Up to three saddle bags can be secured to each pontoon alongside the main trampoline, six in all. With each bag having a capacity of 25 liters (6.6 gallons), there is plenty of storage space for provisions and gear. Although designed to be attached to the pontoons, the bags can also be secured to the front trampoline. A transparent “window” enables a view of the contents without unsealing.

Designed and manufactured by MiniCat specifically for the Explorer. Provides spray barrier and insulation from the cold seawater. Secured with four straps, one per corner. For main trampoline.

This is a downwind headsail based on the “Code Zero” sail design. A cross between a genoa and an gennaker (asymmetric spinnaker) but with shallower draft, it'd let you sail faster on broad reaches up to a beam reach. Furl for upwind tacks. Includes stainless steel bowsprit extension, blocks/cleats, lines, and furling system.

Standalone motor mount. Made of laminated marine plywood. 420/460 mount fastens to the stern on the port side. Guppy/310 mount replaces the rudder.
