A beachcat is an off-the-beach class of catamaran ("cat") sailboat.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Catamaran Sailboats at TheBeachcats.com )〕
== Background ==
Although the term "beachcat" was popularized by surf board designer Hobie Alter, who designed the paradigm-changing Hobie 14 in 1965 and Hobie 16 in 1967, the underlying concept is thousands of years old. The Polynesians are credited with the first "catamaran" designs, although it is probable that the initial design was more in the form of an outrigger of proa design, with one of the hulls serving as a balancing brace for a main canoe. The adventures of Thor Heyerdahl as chronicled in the book ''Kon Tiki'', which proved that travel between Polynesia and South America was possible, is a testament to the inherent stability (even when made up of bundles of river reeds) of the catamaran design.
