CLASSIC Folding Tenders

ARIMAR CLASSIC Folding Tenders are designed for boat owners who prefer a firm aluminium floor and a sturdy inflatable construction. The range includes CLASSIC 240, 270, 320 and 360. Each model combines an aluminium floor with an inflatable keel that reproduces a traditional V-shaped hull profile.

The models differ in size, passenger capacity, engine power and tube diameter. Therefore, the right choice depends on onboard space, passenger needs and engine requirements. ARIMAR also highlights sturdiness, functionality and safety as key characteristics of the CLASSIC range.

Engine requirements should also be considered. Maximum power ranges from 6 HP on CLASSIC 240 to 25 HP on CLASSIC 360.

All four models require an S, or short, engine shaft. Therefore, both maximum engine power and shaft length should be checked before purchase.

Aluminium Floor and Sturdy Construction

Every CLASSIC model features an aluminium floor.

This creates a firm surface inside the tender. As a result, the CLASSIC range offers a more rigid floor configuration than models with inflatable or wooden slat floors.

In addition, ARIMAR highlights sturdiness, functionality and safety as important characteristics of this range.

Inflatable Keel with V-Shaped Profile

The CLASSIC range also features an inflatable keel.

Once inflated, the keel reproduces a traditional V-shaped hull profile. Therefore, it works together with the aluminium floor as part of the CLASSIC construction.

This feature is shared across the range and is specifically highlighted by ARIMAR.

All CLASSIC models are supplied with essential equipment for normal tender use.
