Customize_changeset_uuid= The way they go together is nothing short of miraculous german engineering from the pre plastic age… Truly a thing of beauty while functional: You can put them together and take them apart in under 20 minutes. The bow, keel boards and fore and aft frame ribs are connected with hinges, forming separate bow and stern frame assemblies. This reduces the number of loose parts, improves frame rigidity and reduces assembly time. With extra-strong heavy duty Hypalon rubber-canvas hull and air tubes built within the hull for added buoyancy, making the Aerius unsinkable. Since the photos, the blue frame clips have been replaced with new ones from Klepper USA.

There is one patch on the top of the skin as seen in photos. (I do have a patch kit with matching blue topside material & the grey Halphelon bottom. So you can clean that up if you chose). New pulleys on the mast. Varnish in good shape.A real head turner crowd pleaser & A great sea / lake / river canoe.
