Laura Dekker to launch new model of MiniCat at Dusseldorf Boat Show BOOT 2016

The new MiniCat 420 ‘Laura Dekker Ltd Edition’ is to be launched by Laura Dekker herself at Dusseldorf Boot 2016.

Laura Dekker, the world famous Dutch/New Zealand sailor who at 16 became the youngest person to circumnavigate the world and make headlines worldwide has long been a big fan of MiniCat, the lightweight inflatable catamaran.

Laura first came across MiniCat whilst stopping over in Panama during her epic voyage in 2009 when she watched a MiniCat 310 being sailed and tried it herself. She enjoyed it and soon became the proud owner of a MiniCat which she keeps stowed on her ketch ‘Guppy’ for fun sailing whenever at anchor. Laura kept her MiniCat with her as she continued her voyage and had lots of fun sailing with it whenever she could.

Laura has now collaborated with MiniCat to design her own version of the best-selling MiniCat 420 model. The MiniCat 420 ‘Laura Dekker Ltd Ed’ will be presented publicly for the first time at Dusseldorf Boot 2016.

Laura Dekker will be available to meet the press and introduce her new MiniCat and to be interviewed and photographed on Sunday 24th at the MiniCat stand 15D60 between 10.30 and 14.30. For appointments journalists are requested to contact Sam Simons: sam@minicatamaran.eu

Come and join us at our stand at Dusseldorf BOOT 2016 and meet Laura.
