Popular for watersports clubs and widely used for personal recreation.
The EasyFloat pontoon is a patented design with an aluminium frame and stainless steel fittings surrounding UV-resistant floatation units. The units are filled with cellular plastic and sealed, meaning they are resistant to water ingress, but if the float somehow gets damaged, it will remain floating.
The units are lightweight, and with a slip-resistant surface and soft, rounded edges, they have safety at their core. Their floating capacity is 150kg/sqm, with a freeboard of 17.5cm.
Being low profile, they are highly suitable for wheelchair users and are popular for kayaking and rowing clubs. EasyFloat has been used for international competitions in Hungary, Slovenia and Korea, to name a few.
Of course, the units are also excellent for private use and have an ingenious motor attachment facility, which – thanks to the low draught – allows you to manoeuvre the pontoon using just a small 3–4hp engine if needed. For recreational use, they can be lightly anchored for ease of movement or piled into a static position to ensure stability.
The best part of all is that the EasyFloat range has been tested by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden, who have concluded that ‘EasyFloat will have no or negligible impact on the environment during its service lifetime’.
