DESCRIPTION, MATERIALS & ADVICE

LEARN MORE

The AVANTI 420 Aquadesign raft is aimed at organizations looking for an 8-person boat that combines onboard space, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. It belongs to a range renowned for its value: premium construction with reinforcements and double layers, half the price of a Hypalon raft, and a more flexible fabric that provides the flex and mobility needed during maneuvers.

With its 420 x 193 cm dimensions and an interior width of 95 cm, the AVANTI 420 offers ample space for crew and equipment. The 49 cm diameter tubes provide reassuring support, while the three removable 28 cm diameter thwarts allow for seat adjustments to suit different configurations. The deck is equipped with 14 D-rings for lifelines and tie-downs, six carrying handles, and self-bailing holes for easy water drainage while underway. The flat frame extends to 200 cm, providing a well-organized workspace.

The hull features an inflatable finned floor, a key element in the range's versatility. For clear performance, Aquadesign specifies the front rocker in two measurements (31 cm from the bottom to the base of the tubes / 83 cm from the bottom to the top) and the rear rocker (28 cm / 79 cm). For safety, the boat is equipped with a Leafield A6 overpressure valve and a 4 + 3 + 1 air chamber redundancy system.

Durability relies on clear material choices: indicative fabric weight of 1450 g/m² for the floor and 1100 g/m² for the tubes, upper tube reinforcement in 1000 DTEX fabric, upper finned section in 1000 DTEX, lower finned section in 2000 DTEX, 1000 DTEX lining from the bottom of the tubes to the rubbing strake, and a ribbed reinforcement band under the tubes. The entire unit remains easy to handle with a weight of 62 kg and a maximum load capacity of less than 1050 kg.

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.
