French term or phrase: canoraft
I am trying to work out whether canoraft is the same thing as a cataraft - I have seen canoraft come up in English translations of French articles, but cannot seem to find it in original English documents.

The context is:

Au programme: Raft, mini raft, canoraft, hydro, frenzy, airboat, kayak, canyon, spéléologie, escalad'arbre
Validation niveau "pagaie couleur" sur ce séjour.

Thank you for your help.

Explanation:
I found an explanation on one website for canoraft as an inflatable, two-person canoe. Many sites use the same term however, as well as sites in Spanish and English. Good luck!
