French manufacturer Xtramarine presents the X-FUN, an inflatable catamaran in the style of a SUP. The vehicle is suitable as a large dinghy and can even be sailed with a kite.

The basic version of the X-Fun weighs just 30 kg and can be easily transported in the boot of a car or on the roof of a motorhome. When inflated, the four metre long and 1.70 metre wide catamaran offers space for four people.

Technique like SUP

The hulls and deck consist of a dropstitch construction, as used in the high-pressure bottoms of inflatable boats or SUPs, so no additional stiffeners are required. The hulls and deck are separate air chambers and can be inflated in 20 minutes. A battery-operated air pump is included in the scope of delivery. Two air rollers that can be attached to the deck serve as seats. An additional dropstitch element can be used in the foredeck area to provide more deck space. Instead of this element, an aluminium construction reminiscent of a roof rack can also be fitted, on which heavy and sharp-edged objects can be stowed.

E-drive or kite

The dinghy can be motorised with an electric motor between 500 and 1000 watts or equipped with a 10 m² kite. The Remigo One electric motor then also serves as a rudder. The kite is launched and retrieved directly from the boat so that nobody has to go into the water. Xtramarine offers the X-FUN in various configurations. The basic price for the catamaran without propulsion is 5,540 euros. The version with the ePropulsion eLite 500 W electric motor is available for 6,690 euros. The complete kiteboat kit, consisting of catamaran, 10 m² kite and Remigo-ONE 1kW motor, costs €9,540. All packages already include the "Ready to Sail" accessories such as carrying bag, electric pump, paddle, webbing ladder, repair kit and motor mount.
