The World Navigator was built to be carried on a jet and stow away in the overhead. When your destination is reached it can handle 300# of gear. Also rated for class 4/5 whitewater*. It is equally at home in the back of your S.U.V. on a trip to your favorite local waters. When fully inflated the length is 10' long by 48 inches wide. When deflated it fits nicely into the 24x12x12 carry-on bag included. With a weight capacity of 600# and weighing in at just 26#, the World Navigator remains to be the cadillac of convenience and function.
