STRONG, UNSINKABLE TST CONSTRUCTION
The SPORTYAK 245 RESCUE is unsinkable and practically indestructible. TAHE's specially developed Twin Sheet Technology (TST) is used to thermoform two solid sheets of polyethylene in a high-precision aluminium mould. The deck and hull sections are assembled in a single operation around the Polyethylene foam, making the boat unsinkable. This guarantees the boat's incredible durability and superior finish. The fusion of the two sheets along the seam line creates the strongest part of the boat. As a result, it will resist the most intense impacts and extreme conditions, and remain operational for many years to come.
STABILITY ABOVE ALL
The unique foamed "catamaran" hull offers great stability and safety. The boat can be boarded from the sides without capsizing. Moreover, it offers undeniable navigational qualities: glide and directional control for quick and easy action. The wheel system is fully integrated into the design and does not interfere with navigation.
EASY, ERGONOMIC STORAGE
The SPORTYAK 245 RESCUE has been designed to be stored upright to minimize floor space. They can also be stored flat, with up to 4 boats stacked on top of each other.

Priority to stability and safety
Priority to stability and safety : a large proportion of serious accidents in leisure boating happen on small boats serving larger crafts. Safety has all too often been overlooked on this type of boat, but safety was the top priority for the 245’s designers. Four factors guided the design team in their work : keeping the weight evenly balanced when in use, being unsinkable, stability and getting back on board in case of falling off. The team tested every conceivable “accident” scenario and the BIC 245 is the result of all that work. The relatively low cockpit rim and numerous carry handles make climbing back in after falling/ jumping out simple and safe. When empty, the cockpit float line is below the level of the floor, allowing the cockpit to self-empty. One, two or three people can fit comfortably in a 245. The double rowing position allows you to choose your seating configuration (the seat can be moved and re-positioned but only locked in place in the centre position using the included fixings). That means you can adjust to any size oarsman for efficient rowing without compromising on balance.
Catamaran shape and integrated wheels
The catamaran hull gives the best possible stability. It means you can load up on one side of the boat without fear of capsizing. This shape with flat lateral sections gives also an exceptional glide, with an efficient anti-drift. The wheels are integrated into the design of the hull.
Integrated handles are user friendly
The various carry handles make the boat easy to carry for one or more people. It weighs in at just 39 kg / 86lbs, making it easy to load onto a roof rack.
All-terrain wheels make transport easy
The BIC 245 is fitted with two wide rollers for easy handling over beaches, banks and jetties. The wheels are integrated into the design of the hull and don’t in any way affect its performance on water. You can load all your equipment in the boat and take it easily down to the water’s edge.
The details that make all the difference
The rowing seat is fitted with integral “glove compartments”, and the carry handles and other openings make it easy to fit an anti-theft cable around the boat. The flat rear design was also designed for simple, safe upright storage, taking up less floor area.
