Ocean Sailing Banka

The fireislands Ten10 joins together to form the awesome 20 ft. Cruising Schooner with twin rigs totaling 150 sq. feet of wind power. It threads together in seconds, making family cruising available with a minimum of effort. Think of it! Each boat weighs only 85 lbs to carry to the water, but when together they have a combined displacement of over 1800 lbs (814 k) carrying capacity. It’s the ultimate family fun on the water. When you’re back home, it comes apart just as easily when you want it to.

Important: it never comes apart accidentally, when you don’t want it to.

It can be driven with a 4.5-5 hp outboard very efficiently and economically.

As a Sailing Banka, combine the carrying cargo capacity with wind power for economical trips. The internal space is many times that of the traditional Banka. When the fishing grounds have been reached, drop the sails and lock the mast sections across the rails of the Banka . Hook the floating pods on the ends of the masts for amazing outriggers. Stow the booms or assemble them overhead for shade and rain protection. You can still carefully power with the outriggers in the water. The gas savings will make fishing much more profitable, and when you are back to shore, just empty the catch, unlock the 2 hulls, and carry everything to shore with just 2 adults. What could be easier? It’s revolutionary. Custom interior layouts for fish storage and optional gas powered inboard location. Motors not included.
