Walker Bay Boats® Inc. announced today that the Odyssey Air Floor Inflatable is now also available in Orca® Hypalon®. “The advantage of the Odyssey Air Floor is that it can be rolled up & carried in its own bag, making it the perfect stowable tender” said Paul Roberts, VP of Sales and Marketing for Walker Bay®. “Adding the Orca® Hypalon® option makes the Odyssey more appealing to consumers in extreme ultraviolet light regions.” The new Odyssey Air Floor Hypalon® models will be launched at the US Sailboat & Powerboat Shows in Annapolis, MD October 4-14, 2007.
Walker Bay creates boats from Orca® Hypalon®, the finest Hypalon® material available. Four layers of calendered sheets guarantee air-tightness (no porosity) and optimal adhesion of rubbers. This combination of materials provides improved weather resistance against fading and aging as well as resistance to fuel, oil and everyday abrasions. The tubes are bonded using a three-layer process with all seams internally and externally butted for maximum reliability. Walker Bay® stands behind the Hypalon® Odyssey Air Floor with a 10-year fabric warranty.
The Odyssey Air Floor is a light, compact boat that weighs 66 lbs for the 240 and goes up to 99 lbs for the 340 and has five airtight compartments. The Odyssey Air Floor comes in four different sizes, 240, 270, 310 and 340 with capacity of up to 5 people for the largest model. The new Hypalon® Odyssey Air ranges from $1,699 for the smallest model to $2,150 for the 340. Walker Bay® will continue to offer the Odyssey PVC models for the more casual user and those living in regions where the UV exposure is not high.
