Some confusion here...

There a bit of confusion creeping in here. There are "Compass" branded inflatables, marketed by Compass Watersports, who handle the ybw.com Marine Store website (as mentioned by Mike). And there are other "Compass" branded inflatables sold by various retailers, which I suspect are supplied by Compass Inflatables (which, as Ken said, is a different outfit altogether). If you want info on Compass Inflatables, I think you can contact them on 01234 347711 although they don't seem to have a website.

If you go to

I think you will find what you want. I can confirm the phone number given by pvb

Compass inflatables are excellent quality. I know nothing about the inflatables from Compass Watersports.

Aye boys now we're talking. Its not compass watersports I want its the other crew. Afew weeks ago I hit a website where compass inflatables were advertied. They strongly advised that they had nothing to do with cmpass watersports. Anyway I want a low cost inflatable so if anyone has a contact number ...............



OK! OK! so I should have kept the web address.

I bought a 200i inflatable from Compass at last years boat show waited months for delivery but now I have it it seems to be good value. The chrome flaked from the bow handle/towing eye quite quickly but this seems to be the only fault. It goe's well with my 2.2 Suzuki and rows quite well.

Re: weight

I have just sold a Plastimo 270 that was well made, robust and looked good in white.

Have replaced it with a Quicksilver 240, not arrived yet, but the main reason for doing so was the new Roll Up models are considerably lighter than the traditional ones. My 270 wieghed in on the scales at 33 kilos whereas the stated weight of the 240 is 18.4. Quite a difference when you have to get it on and off etc.

Expect the quality to bve the same, the weight saving has come form the use of lighter materials in the slatted floor and transom. Price is about the same.

Sold in a day on www.boatsandoutboards.com or similar, excellent response for a free ad, had no interest here!

Just in case you have not got the address yet, Compass Infalatables are supplied by a company called Konexion Ltd, Winsor Marina, Maidenhead Road, Windsor Tel 01753 868300.

I have their smallest model, the 100, and think it is very good (see the latest edition of Sailing Today magazine).
