For the solo canoeist looking for a perfect boat, offering plenty of activity and pleasure of travel.

Although an inflatable kayak, the EXPLORER is sleek, and fast like a hard hulledtouring boat, but much more stable.

Intensive research and development has succeeded in combining the great advantages of an inflatable boat with the travelling abilities of hard-shell boats.

The strong bow reinforcement rail absorbs and fends off bumps, and protects the deck of the upside down turned boat against damage.

The stern reinforcement rail likewise provides effective protection against deck damage. In addition it incorporates steering assembly and rudder-line pulleys.

Bow and stern handles facilitate comfortable carrying and launching.

Safety-and carrying lines along the boat to port and starboard are helpful means to hold on to, especially in the event of capsize.

Low aspect corrugate bottom air tubes ensure a low centre of gravity position, and thus help to protect against capsize.

The bottom centre tube protrudes downwards by 2 cm, enhancing directional stability against wind induced side drift.

Bow-, centre-, and stern-deck increases aesthetic appearance and provides additional stiffness to prevent torsion.

There is stowage at the bow and stern sections for equipment and luggage.

The freeboard of the double corrugation air-tubes all round protect against wash of the waves and spray.

A total of 20 eyelets in the lip along both sides of the boat serve to fix luggage net, bow and stern bags, spray-cover and other individual pieces of equipment.

The air pressure of the anatomical shape high-pressure inflatable seat can be adjusted to suit, from low pressure of soft (0.1 bar), to hard (0.3 bar).

Massive foot brace bars can be fixed at varying positions (when air pressure of the floor chamber is reduced).

Footrest-bracket: Adjustable, can be fixed at varying positions
Steering: Pedals with bigger diameter, colour:grey
Valves: Newest version of flat-valves.

State award "Good shape & design
The EXPLORER was presented the state-award for excellent design and environmental friendliness.

PRACTICAL ACCESSORIES:

SITTING COMFORT
The pusch-in backrest helps to prevent fatigue and back-ache. That renders day excursions afloat or week long expeditions matters of most comfortable travelling experiences. The rear side of the back support accommodates a pouch handy to have utensils within easy reach.


SMALL ACCESSORIES
Storage net below decks in front of the seats, forward and midships, serve to hold charts, camera and other bits and pieces ready for use. 4 fastening fittings come with the boat as standard.

Elasticated netting on deck, above the bow and stern of the boat secures paddles, packbags, tent and so on.

DRY BAGS
Bow and stern dry-bags have watertight welded seams, a semi-watertight zip and offer 60 l of stowage. They are firmly affixed to the boat by means of adjustable webbing straps. Conveniently placed handles on the sides allow them to be used as carrier bags for shopping or airtravel.

STEERING DEVICE
Steering device - enhances course holdingand rapid change of direction.

SPRAYCOVERS
Spraycover - to protect against spray, rain and cold

TRANSPORT
Boat trolley - for easy movement ashore

STABILISING FIN, SAFETY FLOATS
Newcomers, older canoeists and those with little experience find it difficult sometimes, to keep a straight course (with a boat that has no steering).

SAFETY FLOATS provide the feeling that boating can be enjoyed without fear. The slim, and on both end narrowing points of the floats produce very little resistance when paddling.

DRIVE SAILS
Drive sails - for running downwind, reaching and free windward sailing.

TRIMARAN SAILS
Trimaran sails - for sailing fun

ELECTRIC BOAT MOTORS
Electric outboard motors are absolutely silent, produce no exhaust gases and cause no un-necessary waves.

Torqeedo sternmotor Ultralight 402 - for long, fatigueproof trips

OUTRIGGERS
Outriggers stabilise, enhance safety against capsize, and are essential for fixing an outboard engine bracket.
