Alligator AL 420 (4.2m High Volume 2 person inflatable kayak)
APPLICATIONS
Remote destination expedition tripping for expert paddlers. Designed for big paddlers and bigger water.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Following on from the huge success of the Croc we have reduced the tube size and set up the Alligators as Kayaks. The smaller tubes allow the paddler to sit inside the boat kayak fashion as opposed the Croc which is a sit on top. The increase kick and tapered bows make the Alligator series very forgiving while at the same time adding to the performance and speed.The high volume I beam floors more than compensate for the smaller tube size and the Alligator drains quickly in rapids even with larger payloads.
The ALLIGATOR 320 single person Kayak
With a larger tube diameter and a low seat position, the Alligator is a river runner designed to be stable and forgiving in whitewater. The big tube and the added buoyancy in the floor, make this the choice for carrying loads in bigger volume rivers. The extra kick in the bow make this an extremely forgiving ride.
The Alligators suit expert paddlers looking for extra space as well as knocking a grade of any river for the novice
paddler who will enjoy the extra stabilty in rapids.
The fully adjustable thigh-brace system allows the paddler to be at one with the boat. If you do find yourself in a tricky situation, exit from the thigh-brace is quickly accomplished in a single leg- straightening action. The combination of self bailing drain holes and high volume inflatable floor quickly dumps the water. Takes a grade of any whitewater, easily handled by a novice. Often used as support and rescue boats on rafting expeditions.This model is currently employed commercially to run the Zambezi. A more exciting descent is hard to find. The combination of self bailing drain holes and high volume inflatable floor quickly dumps the water. Takes a grade of any whitewater, easily handled by a novice.
The ALLIGATOR 420
The Alligator 420, essentially the two person version of the Alligator also handles the whitewater with ease whilst
still being a fast flat water boat.The two person Alligator is a great day ripping boat if you are looking for more performance and a more exciting ride than the Croc, while at the same time being way more stable than the Kayark 420. The Alligator 420 can be configured for a two or one paddlers, as a solo rig this is a remarkable expedition kayak capable of carrying as much as anyone would need for a 10 day wilderness trip. The Alligator 420 folds into an 18-kg bundle! Despite this amazing attribute, it remains more than capable of extended expedition tripping.
