Go sailing on a moments notice with these key features!
Hydrodynamic V-Shaped Bow Floats
V-Shaped hulls punch through chop and waves while also delivery better directional stability for better windward performance - all without a jib!
Aluminum Frame Construction
The Ducky 13’s lightweight frame is built from tough anodized aluminum, giving you serious strength without the extra weight. This rugged material shrugs off salt, sun, and bumps on the beach—so you get a catamaran that’s easy to carry, tough against corrosion, and ready for countless seasons of adventure.
Safety as a Priority
The Ducky 13 is built for safe, confident sailing—even when the wind picks up. Its clever unstayed rig design lets extra wind spill off the sail automatically, so you stay in control and less likely to be overpowered in gusts. It’s a forgiving, easy-going catamaran that keeps both new and experienced sailors smiling, no matter the conditions.
This boat will not turtle quickly, even without a mast float. It can also be re-righted by a lightweight sailor without the need for a righting line!
Secret Weapon - Centerboard
Unlock even better upwind performance with the centerboard for the Ducky D13. This amazing feature gives you better upwind pointing, more control, and efficient handling in all wind conditions. Enjoy smoother tacks, less sideways drift, and a boost in sailing confidence—ideal for both beginners and thrill-seekers!
Full Featured - At Base Price
The Ducky D13 comes fully loaded—no endless accessory list or surprise costs here. You get a catamaran that’s ready for serious sailing right out of the box, with all the essentials included for comfort, performance, and fun. Enjoy full-featured adventure with one simple purchase and skip the hassle of piecing together add-ons. With the D13, everything you really need is built-in from the start!
A Rocker on an Inflatable?!
The Ducky D13’s thoughtfully designed hulls feature a subtle rocker shape, giving you smoother turns and more responsive handling on the water. This clever curve helps the boat glide over waves and makes steering feel light and precise, whether you’re tacking in a breeze or carving through chop. The rocker delivers both extra agility and improved speed, so your sailing experience feels lively and controlled every time you launch.
Portability - Unleashed
The Ducky 13 redefines portable sailing. It packs down into a few manageable bags that easily fit in your car trunk or closet—no trailer, roof rack, or garage required. Lightweight components and quick assembly mean you can set up or stash your catamaran in minutes, letting you take spontaneous adventures to new waterways whenever the mood strikes.
