Products manufactured by Avon conform to the requirements of ISO 6185, USA/H28, and British Standard MA16.

*Dupont® Dow elastomers

CE Certification All applicable Avon craft conform to the Essential Safety Requirements of the new Recreation Craft Directive No. 94/25/EC and are CE marked.

SAFE AND EASY TO USE Across the range, our boats can be assembled, inflated and launched in minutes. Unpack, inflate, fasten any deck or accessories and your outboard and off you go!

Inflation is easy with our latest large bore valves offering quick inflation and secure air holding and our tough new valve cap provides a secondary seal for added safety. With up to six independent air chambers, wide beams, low centres of gravity and large diameter tubes, AVON boats are extremely safe.

You will notice that our inherent design feature allows everyone to sit comfortably and safely inside the craft, adding considerably to the well-being of everyone on board. Safety has always been a key element of our design parameters.

Carefully designed hulls and light weight designs ensure maximum performance and fuel efficiency, whilst our smaller tenders can be easily rowed using our strong wooden oars and unique rowlocks.

Our inflatable models are light enough for you to carry easily, pack down and stow, and the Rover and Rover Ribs ranges can be easily transported by car rack (not Rib 340), by trailer or stowed aboard your mother craft. All Rover Ribs, Rover Lite, Seasport De Luxe and Seaport Jet Rib are suitable to be either davit, passarelle or crane hung, dependent on model.

Avon’s distinctive lower ‘sit in the boat’ seating position gives increased safety and is an ideal driving position.

Dinghies The Avon Dinghy range offers a timeless introduction to inflatable boating, and still regarded without peer by experienced sailors.

As a leading manufacturer, Avon carries out a continuous programme of product improvements and safety awareness. Specifications are subject to change without notice, although all details shown are accurate at the time of going to press. Occasionally it may become necessary to produce Avon products with a different trim than was originally specified. All dimension measurments indicated have a tolerance of +/- 3 %. Weight and speed measurments have a tolerance of +/- 5 %. Products availability may vary by country, and carrying capacities on some models will vary with seating configurations. Please check with your dealer. Some models illustrated may feature non-standard equipment. See standard and optional equipment listings for full details. Maximum and approximate performance figures will vary with size and make of outboard, propeller, load and operating conditions. We recommend that you read and understand your owner’s manual. Safe boating is enjoyable with the rights of other water users respected. Always wear the appropriate clothing and a personal flotation device or approved life jacket.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for both boat and engine. It is recommended that you consider training to improve your boat handling skills. Even skilled operators should take extra care when using maximum hp/kW rated outboards, especially in adverse sea conditions or at high speeds. Your dealer will advise on the suitability of a particular outboard to meet your requirements. Avon design categories relate to European directive No. 94/25/CE and all characteristics are given according to the standards of ISO 6185. In certain countries these standards can be more restrictive. For more details visit www.marinemegastore.com or call 0871 8732404 6
