THANETCRAFT - Row Punts

Armstrong Model Range: Row Punts

As part of our policy in evolving our design range, in 1996 we developed the 2.4m (8ft) Row-Punt after having seen the 'near perfect shape’ on the lake of the Garsington Estate in 1996. This Row-Punt was developed especially for those who have a few acres of water on their property.

Subsequently many other applications needing a light strong hull emerged, such as for the emergency services in flood situations, shooting & fishing syndicates, light general maintenance of waterways and access to islands. The Row Punt's specially sculpted bow is most effective in controlling the bow wave and at the same time preventing the bow from digging down when slowing off the plane.

Lastly our most recent ‘baby’ ... the Flood-Rescue-Punt for urban emergencies.. The range has features borrowed from our Work-Boat & Fish-Punt designs (available in at least six sizes up to 20ft) also made from marine grade aluminium. Where a possible application requires a craft of more substantial construction, ask for details of the alternatives described in our other sections. We believe we have the experience to advise on the right craft for the job and to be able to incorporate special features any customer may need.
