Inflatable tender repair

[Dutch01527]

My new boat came with a newish hypalon tender. We have some issues with slow leaks. I tried a diy repair but only partially successful.

Can anyone suggest a repair specialist? I have done a Google search and found people who specialise in rib repairs but they do not do small inflatables.

Boat is in Dartmouth and we live near Cheltenham but would travel.

Thanks

This company repaired my Avon Redstart hypalon high pressure inflatable floor for me when others would not take in the job. Not cheap but very satisfied and my dinghy is good as new now.

A little practice should make you proficient in Hypalon puncture repairs. It is advisable when using an iflatable tender, to carry a puncture repair kit and a pump, because it is perfectly possible, having gone ashore, that when you return to your beached or moored dinghy you will find it in a deflated state, If your cruising plans are sufficiently ambitious you will find yourself out of range of these repair services on Britain's South Coast. Self- sufficiency is the first requisite of the cruising yachtsman. Buy or beg a swatch of Hypalon or find an old abandoned tender in the corner of a boatyard and do a bit of practising.
