DESCRIPTION, MATERIALS & ADVICE

LEARN MORE

The AVANTI 380 Aquadesign raft is an 8-person raft that falls into the brand's most affordable range. Its key advantages include a construction that is twice as light and economical as a traditional raft, more flexible fabric for greater flex and maneuverability, and its reputation as the number one Avanti raft in Europe. It's the first 8-person model in the range: narrower than the Avanti 400, it impresses with its compact size and versatility.

In terms of dimensions, the AVANTI 380 is 380 cm long and 180 cm wide, with an internal width of 84 cm. The 48 cm diameter tubes contribute to its stability. The equipment is designed for intensive use: two removable 35 cm diameter thwarts, 12 D-rings for lifelines and tie-downs, six reinforced PVC carrying handles sewn onto the base, and self-bailing holes for continuous water drainage. The maximum length of the flat frame reaches 180 cm, convenient for installing a frame.

For performance analysis, Aquadesign indicates the front and rear rocker using two methods: 24 cm (from the ground to the base of the tubes) and 70 cm (from the ground to the top of the tubes). Safety is ensured by 4 + 2 + 1 air chambers and a Leafield A6 overpressure valve. Weight: 55 kg with a maximum load &lt; 900 kg.

The construction emphasizes durability: inflatable finned floor and fabrics with indicative weights of 1450 g/m² (floor) and 1100 g/m² (tubes). The reinforcements are detailed: upper reinforcement of the tubes in 1000 DTEX fabric, upper part of the finned floor in 1000 DTEX, lower part of the finned floor in 2000 DTEX, 1000 DTEX lining of the lower part of the tubes up to the chafe strip, and ribbed reinforcement strip under the tubes.
Why choose the AVANTI 380: excellent value for money (100% PREMIUM PVC construction, 2x cheaper than hypalon), versatility (pronounced rocker + finned bottom), lightness (55 kg) and longevity (reinforcements under tubes and at the level of the rubbing strake), making the AVANTI 380 an Aquadesign bestseller.

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.
