General characteristics for the SILENCE

- The fiberglass axles, unbreakable, make the yacht comfortable for users. Those axles are clad with rubber protection, developed to withstand shock and vibration.
- The SILENCE is the most comfortable yacht : the seat is made of thick fabric, filled with a 50mm thick foam. The seat back, padded as well, is adjustable : 4 positions, from the front to the back to adapt the length of the back, and 7 other positions for inclination.
- Telescopic adjustment of the tiller by a simple push-pin, to adapt the length of the legs
- Original sail : 3,8 m2 (bigger sails available : 4,5 m2, 5,3 m2, 6m2, as an option). The sails are made of Mylar or Dacron.
- Different wheels are available, according to your choice. The SILENCE comes standard equipped with 3 grey wheel rims. As optional equipment, you can opt for the eight-spoke alloy wheels. For the back, 56 cm wheels are also available, either the lenticular wheel molded in aluminium sheeting (such as the GLIDER), or the ten-spoke wheel (such as the STANDART’).
- The front fork is easily and quickly removable without any tool.
- NEW: Secure axle clamping system: in the event of an impact, the axle is unclipped and can be clipped again by hand. SEAGULL creation (optional).
- The yacht can be carried as a backpack (the sail and the rigging can be carried by hand). The straps under the seat serve to carry the yacht as a backpack (the whole frame), to get you through a dune area for exemple.
