Takacat 260 LX: a Cruisers TEST and REVIEW of this Catamaran dinghy
We bought a Takacat 260 LX and we are going to test it and give a review of this catamaran dinghy.
Is it the best dinghy for a cruiser? We think it is. The Takacat is a dinghy from new zealand and has an open bow. This makes it weird, but very handy. We will show you all the positive sides and the negative ones. While sailing in the most epic scenery of Moorea!

We are Bart, Kim and Liz and we are sailing around the world!
We met on a sailing school (Zeilschool de Veenhoop) in the Netherlands, where we were both sailing instructors. We were both in love with sailing and soon after we were in love with each other ;)
After a lot of traveling and rental boats we decided to buy our own sailing yacht. In 2018 we became the proud owners of 'Tranquillity' a Scanmar 33 foot sailing vessel built in Sweden in 1985! Not really a blue water cruiser but a small, tiny and sturdy boat and we love her!
After 3 years of sailing holidays we decided to take the big step and plan to start sailing the world. Minor hick-up we became parents on 19-02-2019 of Liz!
This channel will be all about sailing, refit a sailboat, sailing with a child (toddler), planning to sail the world, crossing the Atlantic ocean, the Pacific ocean and of course our life when we are cruising around the world on our tiny sailboat.
