Grabner Adventure SL Hose Canadian Canoe

The Adventure SL is of the ideal size to accommodate 4 adults, or 2 adults and 3 children. A perfect boat for the entire family, or for the adventurer, who requires a lot of luggage space. The equipment Adventure SL is the same as that of the Adventure but with a more spartan equipment: Seatboard positions are fixed and not adjustable. There are no thigh-belt D-rings. Instead of the bailing-hose, the ADVENTURE SL is fitted with a drain sump in which eight bilge holes can be punched. Service works – carried out the Grabner Boat factory: Punching of drain holes.

If the boat is primarily to be used in gentle waters, it is not necessary to punch out the bilge holes. However, these holes are ideal for white-water travel, continually draining out the water that splashes into the boat. The drain hole stoppers (not supplied as standard) can be used to close the bilge holes water tight at any time. Highly appreciated are features of the Adventure SL that virtually offer everything families, novices to paddling to professionals, whitewater freaks and heavyweight water-sport enthusiasts expect from a boat: smooth running, excellent course holding, stability to resist capsize, plus plenty of room (space for stowage of luggage) and most of all the feature of versatility.

Apart from paddling the Adventure SL it makes a good sail-boat (trimaran rig), and with the Torqeedo stern mount motor a quietly moving motorboat offering great comfort. Decisive overriding fact though are the boats aspects of safety and resilient material, which guarantee an unbelievable long use and lifespan. Thanks to its Canadian canoe shape and the long water line that comes with it, the Adventure SL stands for outstanding directional course holding stability, without having to make constant course corrections. Newcomers and those with little sailing experience will appreciate this feature.

High aspect freeboard makes provision for extra load. It protects infants from falling overboard and fends off the wash of headon waves. Bow and stern have strong reinforcement strakes, which absorb and take the impact velocity out of bumps. Short decks covering bow and stern ward off ingress of water fore and aft. Bow and stern all round fitting safety and carrying-belts enable to carry the boat or hauled along side, and to be held onto in the event of capsize. High resistance to capsize, and the different methods of propulsion by means of: single blade paddles, combination paddles (x), electric motor (x), fuel engine, sail (x) render the Adventure SL a safe boat of universal and family friendly application.

Even two children can sit next to each other on the middle seat board. The large luggage storage area provides space for even the most extensive adventure equipment. The spraydeck (x) protects against rain, spray and cold, as well as permitting luggage to be fastened down at the bow, stern and middle. The ideal colour scheme has been well thought out. The black outer skin (particularly tough and resistant thanks to the high percentage of soot) blends discretely into the surroundings). The red inner skin can save your life as a signalling colour in an emergency. With its four seat holes, the Adventure SL can be used by 4 persons.
