If each tube has only one chamber then it would not be compliant.

The CE mark is critical, it is not legal for them to sell it for leisure use otherwise. But they could sell it for rescue/commercial use. But the website says makes a great stable fishing platform, weekend pleasure cruiser for whole family clearly they are aiming at the leisure market.
I think the description writeup is incorrect. If you take a look at the 2nd picture, two inflation and one pressure relief valves can be seen on one tube.

Yes, you are right Steve, and if you zoom in you can see the second PRV just aft of the seat on the port side. That makes sense now.

Can you imagine the drag caused by the surface area of that floor?

“To the Bat Boat Robin”

At only 28kg and tunnel hull thought I might have to name it ‘Flipper’.....but suppose ‘The Bat Boat’ could work.
