Why is Porta-Bote much more stable than ordinary, rigid boats?
Flexibility – this is the secret to Porta-Bote's incredible stability! This is the same reason inflatable boats are more stable than rigid craft, but unlike an inflatable boat, Porta-Bote's flexible hull flexes inwards approximately 12% when a strong wave slams against the boat, immediately dissipates the energy of the wave and disperses its force by over 90%. It's really almost impossible to capsize one of these boats. Although safe boating is a matter of using common sense, you definitely have a much greater safety factor when using Porta-Bote as your recreational craft over an old fashioned rigid aluminum boats or fiberglass boats.
Advanced hull design - Porta-Bote's superior hull design creates a unique stability. Its patented concave cupped bottom locks onto the water's surface. Yet, it easily cruises over logs and limbs and keeps you dry even in high winds.
Extremely low hull weights - Folding Porta-Bote hulls weigh in at an ultra-light 47 lbs (21 kg), 58 lbs (26 kg), 69 lbs (31 kg) and 96 lbs (43.6kg) respectively, almost half as much as comparable aluminum boats or fiberglass boats.
The ideal sail boat
When going on a recreational cruise, many people like to use sail boats. What a best way is there to enjoy nature, then surfing on sail boats?
No motor humming, no oar splashing. Sail boats are indeed a perfect way to harness the power of the wind, while enjoying the serenity and silence of being one with nature.
Why not turning your Porta-Boat into a sail boat?
All Porta-boat models can be fitted with a sail, and easily turned into sail boats.
The sail is attached firmly to the hull, and can be used whenever you are tired of rowing, and fed up with motor humming.
All 4 types of Porta Bote can serve as small fishing boats. In fact, using the Porta-Boats as small fishing boats gives the fisherman few advantages:
1.Regular small fishing boats sway and rock and raise tiny ripples which scare away the fish.
2.Ever tried to swing a fishing rod while standing on small fishing boats? Most likely you'd lose balance or even worst, fall overboard.
3.If there is more than on person on a small fishing boat, to be able to stand without swaying, becomes virtually impossible!
Porta-Bote special material solves all the problems related to small fishing boats. Its material defuses weight evenly across the entire hull, which gives this boat a unique stability, even when all the people onboard are standing or moving!
