Aerius
Quattro I 490 SL
MAXIMUM Payload and Clearance
and Optimal Safety

What
you can't see makes the difference!
4 integrated air sponsons...
|
The
Aerius Quattro I 490 SL single and the Aerius Quattro
II 520 double model are based on the Aerius Expedition design,
but with one exceptional difference : they have 4 integrated
air sponsons. This increases load capacity and maximizes
buoyancy and safety. With fully inflated air sponsons, the
hull shape changes from a V to a U. The latter mode allows
for maximum payload and shallow water efficiency. See the
difference in hull shapes in the figures below.

Military
Application:
The Klepper MK13 (equivalent to the civilian expedition
model) was the official "stealth" kayak of NATO
since 1953 and has been replaced by the four air sponson
Commando known in its civilian version as the Aerius Quattro
II 520 (the double version of the Quattro I 490 SL).
The
Aerius Quattro I 490 SL can be sailed with the Freewind Downwind
sail and the S1 sail.
