SOTAR STC Classic Cat

At 18 feet long with a 1,460 lb load capacity, this cataraft is specifically designed to handle the heavy gear loads required for extended backcountry trips. Its high-capacity design ensures it remains stable and tracks well even when fully loaded with camping equipment and supplies.

The 40oz REZCOAT Urethane is an exceptionally tough, abrasion-resistant material that is industry-standard for heavy-duty whitewater use. It provides significant protection against rocks and debris, ensuring the tubes can withstand the wear and tear of remote, challenging river environments over many seasons.

Yes, despite its size, the STC Classic Cat features a responsive tube profile designed for maneuverability. While it is built for hauling gear, the hull shape allows for precise handling, making it capable of navigating technical rapids without feeling sluggish.

The raft features 4 independent air chambers. This design is a critical safety feature, as it ensures that if one section of the raft is punctured, the remaining chambers will keep the vessel afloat and stable.

The 25-inch tube diameter provides significant buoyancy and lift, which is essential for keeping the raft riding high in the water when carrying heavy loads. This extra volume helps the raft punch through large waves and maintain stability in rough water.
