Priority to stability and safety

Priority to stability and safety : a large proportion of serious accidents in leisure boating happen on small boats serving larger crafts. Safety has all too often been overlooked on this type of boat, but safety was the top priority for the 245’s designers. Four factors guided the design team in their work : keeping the weight evenly balanced when in use, being unsinkable, stability and getting back on board in case of falling off. The team tested every conceivable “accident” scenario and the BIC 245 is the result of all that work. The relatively low cockpit rim and numerous carry handles make climbing back in after falling/ jumping out simple and safe. When empty, the cockpit float line is below the level of the floor, allowing the cockpit to self-empty. One, two or three people can fit comfortably in a 245. The double rowing position allows you to choose your seating configuration (the seat can be moved and re-positioned but only locked in place in the centre position using the included fixings). That means you can adjust to any size oarsman for efficient rowing without compromising on balance.

Catamaran shape and integrated wheels

The catamaran hull gives the best possible stability. It means you can load up on one side of the boat without fear of capsizing. This shape with flat lateral sections gives also an exceptional glide, with an efficient anti-drift. The wheels are integrated into the design of the hull.

Integrated handles are user friendly

The various carry handles make the boat easy to carry for one or more people. It weighs in at just 39 kg / 86lbs, making it easy to load onto a roof rack.

All-terrain wheels make transport easy

The BIC 245 is fitted with two wide rollers for easy handling over beaches, banks and jetties. The wheels are integrated into the design of the hull and don’t in any way affect its performance on water. You can load all your equipment in the boat and take it easily down to the water’s edge.

The details that make all the difference

The rowing seat is fitted with integral “glove compartments”, and the carry handles and other openings make it easy to fit an anti-theft cable around the boat. The flat rear design was also designed for simple, safe upright storage, taking up less floor area.
