DIY Homemade Catamaran Sailboat You Will Love

My first sailboat, and it changed my life - it might change yours (RebelCat.com). Ever wish you could find an easy way to go sailing? This little catamaran might be the answer. You can make one in a few days for very little money, even free if you can scrounge the materials. Here's the story of my first 'cat', made in the bush in Brazil. More info at my Web site RebelCat.com. Correction on the size of the sail: 3 by 2 meters, not 4 by 3. Sail on!

It IS fun. I've redesigned this little cat and will soon begin building it. The newer version is the same size, but it benefits from me having made three more since this one. I've now used 8", 10" 12" and 15" diameter PVC pipe. The fun factor increases as the size of the boat decreases.

Muito obrigado. If you go to the represa (reservoir) near Paraibuna, you might find my boat.

You are awesome too, my friend, and yes, you will really enjoy one of these cats. A redesign and upgrade of the little one in this video is done and about to be built, so stay tuned.

Good news: I got 20' of 8" PVC pipe & caps in Albuquerque - must be the best price on Earth: Sierra Irrigation. Four traffic cones ordered. Bought the wood and the mast. This will be RebelCat 6, a remake and upgrade of RC 1 you see in this video, as promised. My guess is it can be built for about $150. Stay tuned.

Good points. All later Rebel Cats have sail tracks on the mast, outhaul, downhaul, traveler, adjustable jib fairlead position, halyards, sheets, cleats... the works.
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
