DESCRIPTION, MATERIALS & ADVICE

LEARN MORE

The AVANTI 445 Aquadesign is a 10-person inflatable raft designed to transport passengers and equipment with complete peace of mind. It belongs to a range renowned for its exceptional value: 100% PREMIUM PVC construction, half the price of Hypalon, and a design focused on durability (multiple reinforcements and linings). Its more flexible fabric provides the desired flex and mobility, while the pronounced rocker and finned floor allow it to adapt to all rivers, including the most demanding.

Measuring 445 cm long and 191 cm wide (88 cm internal width), the AVANTI 445 offers ample space for the crew and an efficient work platform. The 50 cm diameter tubes ensure stability and buoyancy; four removable 32.5 cm diameter thwarts allow for precise seat adjustment depending on the day's outing. Onboard features include 14 D-rings for lifelines and tie-downs, six carrying handles, and self-bailing holes for continuous water drainage. The flat frame extends to 220 cm, providing convenient space for equipment placement.

The boat's handling is documented with a double rocker measurement (Aquadesign standard): at the front, 27 cm from the ground to the base of the tubes and 78 cm from the ground to the top; at the rear, 27 cm and 78 cm. For safety, the boat features 4 + 3 + 1 air chambers and a Leafield A6 overpressure valve. Despite its capacity, it remains lightweight (65 kg) for a maximum load of less than 1150 kg.

Durability comes from a precise and transparent choice of materials: indicative fabric weight 1450 g/m² for the base and 1100 g/m² for the tubes, with a complete reinforcement pack:

Tubes: 1000 DTEX PVC + upper reinforcement of 1000 DTEX tubes

Self-draining finned bottom: top 1000 DTEX / bottom 2000 DTEX

Reinforcement under the tubes up to the chafe strip: 1000 DTEX

Grooved band under the tubes for abrasion

Over the years, these choices have made it a global benchmark: lightweight, versatile, and durable, the AVANTI 445 has established itself as a reliable partner for professional and intensive outings. Available colors: yellow, red.

1000 Dtex PVC fabric tube, 1100 Dtex PVC top reinforcement, 1000 and 2000 Dtex PVC fabric finned bottom, abrasion-resistant fabric, grooved band, 10cm rubbing strip

Weight/m2 of the tube fabric: 1100 g / 39 oz (This is the weight per square meter of the tube fabric; this value is an indicator of the fabric's strength.)

Weight/m2 of the background fabric: 1450 g / 51 oz (This is the weight per square meter of the background fabric; this value is an indication of the fabric's strength.)

A well-maintained AVANTI raft will provide you with years of safe adventures. To preserve its performance and durability, adopt these best practices.

  • Rinse after each outing

After each use, rinse your AVANTI thoroughly with clean water.

✔️ Remove sand, mud and debris to prevent premature wear of the PVC.

✔️ Use a soft sponge to avoid scratching the coating.

  • Dry completely before storing

✔️Never store your raft wet.

✔️ Let it dry completely in the shade, as prolonged exposure to the sun accelerates the aging of the fabric.

✔️ Check that all chambers and the bottom are completely dry to prevent mold and bad odors.

  • Suitable storage

Store your AVANTI in a dry, ventilated place, away from extreme temperature variations.

✔️ Avoid any proximity to heat sources (radiator, engine).

✔️ Protect it from rodents and insects.

  • Pressure and inflation

Maintain the recommended pressure of 2.5 PSI .

✔️ Overinflation weakens seams and valves.

✔️ In warm weather, slightly reduce the pressure to compensate for air expansion.

  • Preventive maintenance

✔️ Regularly inspect valves, seams and bonding areas.

✔️ Repair any micro-perforations immediately using a suitable kit.
