Visitors to the Bay Boat Expo can be excused for thinking Blokarts have crossed to the dark side. The funky little three-wheeled land yachts that have taken the world by storm are now migrating back to their roots – the sea.

Paul Beckett explains the new concept in sailing in the video clip below.

They've added a splash of colour and action to the Boat Expo, underway next to the Tauranga harbour bridge. The show runs Friday and Saturday, from 10am to 6pm. Entry is via the Tauranga Bridge Marina from the northbound lane, for a gold coin donation.
Blokart founder Paul Beckett has taken the sail concept a step further, developing catamaran hulls that conveniently transport on cartop roofracks and when teamed with a Blokart rig, make a performance sailing vessel.
Paul and the Blokart team are demonstrating three different models of the Katalyst sail cats; from the Blokart chassis with midships-mounted seating; to the cruiser with backrests.
