Publisher's Note
Just about everyone who owns a cruising boat needs a dinghy, and inflatables have become the most popular choice. Modern inflatables carry large loads safely, and with a modest outboard they travel fast and keep their occupants safe and dry. Unfortunately, inflatables have a limited life span and can be difficult to repair. Until now, those wishing to repair their own boats were reduced to squinting at the labels wrapped around glue cans. This books tells you how to do it right. The author details simple maintenance procedures that can double an inflatable's life and includes step-by-step instructions for carrying out professional-level repairs and modifications. And

The author details simple maintenance procedures that can double an inflatable's life and includes step-by-step instructions for carrying out professional-level repairs and modifications. And isn't just for inflatable dinghy owners. All types of inflatables are covered, including sportboats, which have become increasingly popular for watersports--scuba diving, waterskiing, fishing--because they're safer, more comfortable, and more easily stowed than traditional hard-skin small boats. To realize the advantages of inflatable boats and to protect your investment, you must choose the correct book, equip it properly, and then learn how to use it and maintain it. Inflatable Boats is the only book dedicated to showing you how.
