 3D Craft Norden Boats

The Norden range of boats are the first aluminium sports utility vessels (SUVs) to be sold in the UK.

A sports utility is simply a solid boat that has air chambers incorporated into the gunwales to provide extra stability and buoyancy.   Due to the hull shape and buoyancy, there is far less rolling movement than on standard solid boats whilst avoiding the disadvantages of a RHIB.
