T260S Grey 2025
Inflatable Specialist Insight: The T260S (MPN T260S Grey 2025) is the "Sport" evolution of the legendary Takacat design. Featuring slimmer hulls and a narrower beam than the LX series, the Sport model is built for speed, tracking, and reduced drag. It is the definitive choice for those using the boat as a high-speed tender or a tracking-focused rowboat. The 2025 Grey edition maintains the iconic Open-Bow for easy boarding while providing a more aggressive, streamlined profile.
Slim Profile, High-Speed Performance
The Takacat T260S (MPN: T260S Grey 2025) is designed for efficiency. At 8' 6" long, its narrower width allows it to slice through the water with even less resistance than the wider LX models. This makes it exceptionally responsive under power and remarkably easy to row. The high-pressure Drop-stitch Air Floor provides the rigidity of a hard deck boat while allowing for a lightweight, compact footprint when deflated.
Utilizing the innovative Tube Transom®, the T260S can be completely disassembled and rolled up, making it one of the most portable catamarans in the world. This 2025 Grey model features reinforced seams and UV-resistant 0.9mm PVC, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of salt water, rocky beaches, and intense sun exposure without sacrificing its sleek look.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the "S" (Sport) differ from the "LX"?
The T260S (Sport) is narrower and has smaller tube diameters than the T260LX. This makes it faster and more aerodynamic, though the LX offers more internal floor space and higher buoyancy.
2. Can I store this in a small car trunk?
Yes. Because of the removable Tube Transom®, the T260S deflates into two lightweight bags that easily fit into most sedan trunks or RV storage compartments.
