The best manual drive for Banana®-boat. The boat can be moved and manoeuvred fast and safely.
Length from 140 cm or from 210 cm, rudder post separableLength from 140 cm, rudder post one-piece
Material - shaft: Aluminium
Material - rudder blade: HDPE
Material: Stainless steel & HDPE
Especially developed for Banana®-boat. The oars can be locked to the boat hull without tools by turning them 180 degrees, and for this reason they cannot fall overboard any more.
Material: Stainless steel

The rig of Banana®-boat is very similar to the lateen rig and thus permits tacking upwind. It is easy and simple to handle. Even beginner sailors will have a lot of fun with Banana®-boat.
Materials used: anodized aluminium, stainless steel, wood, nylon
To attach an outboard engine to Banana®-boat. Suitable for electric motors or petrol engines with up to 2.5 HP or 1.75 kW. As the boat is a displacer in its basic shape, larger motors with more than 2.5 HP or 1.75 kW should be used only with stern trim only (for types 260, 290 & 325).
Material: Stainless steel & GF special plastic
To attach an outboard engine to Banana®-boat type 380. Suitable for electric motors or petrol engines with up to 7.5 HP or 5.52 kW. For type 425 up to 10 HP. Always mount stern trim tab for engines with more than 2 HP.
Material: anodized aluminium & GF plastic
Recommended for the use of an outboard engine with more than 2 HP. After simple attachment the Banana®-boat type 380 or 425 is planing on the water. The prerequisite is that a long-shaft engine is used. A short-shaft engine is unsuitable because when travelling fast the propeller would draw in air and propulsion is made almost impossible.
Material: Marine plywood, anodized aluminium, special plastic
Some customers expressed their wish to use Banana®-boat for longer distances at distinctly higher speeds. For this reason we have developed the stern trim. In its basic shape the Banana®-boat is a displacer, i.e. the length of the hull waterline determines the maximum (hull) speed. In order to overcome this hull speed, the boat has to be trimmed correspondingly and the water film has to be torn. This task is carried out by the stern trim. Similar to a motor boat with trim tabs and beveled stern.
The prerequisite for the use of the stern trim is the use of a long-shaft engine so that the water can flow, without any disturbance from the hull, thoroughly around the propeller.
Loaded with one person, the Banana®-boat with a 4 HP long-shaft motor can reach a speed of almost 10 kn or 20 km/h. In the process, weather, wind and wave conditions have to be taken into consideration.
Material: Marine plywood, anodised stainless steel, aluminium, special plastic
The underwater window is very popular with yacht owners in particular those who like to use the Banana®-boat as a jolly boat. It permits viewing of marine life because the window is embedded perfectly into the bottom of the boat. A sound sleep for roaders, after exploring the sea or lake floor, reefs and corals from the observation window, in particular, makes it an essential accessory. The viewing window has a size of either 8 x 12 cm, 12 x 18 cm or 16 x 24 cm. It is completely watertight. Moreover, it is possible to replace the viewing window even after decades of use without damaging the hull.
Material: Stainless steel, transparent glass made out of especially hardened plastic
The drain valve is required in particular if the boat is operated unfolded in davits. The rain or splash water collected can run off quickly and easily.
Material: Stainless steel, rubber
For several years we have been offering you the possibility of ordering the rubbing strakes in special colours: white, green or light grey. The boat, thus gets a fresh and very pleasant look.
