Finished my first Skeena this spring and just got back from a 4 day float down the North Fork of the Flathead river in Montana (USA). Big water because of a wet spring, lots of class 2+ waves but the Skeena performed just as well as the Alpacas in the group. I believe this raft outperformed the Kokopelli Hornet-Lite rafts floating with us by…[Read more]

I have an alpaca raft with removable deck (zipper and velcro) and is just too leaky for even basic use. Wondering if its possible and worth trying to put on DIY spray deck?

If tube 1 fits nicely between tube 2 and the center slit then I would locate the tubes as you have them in the pictures without modifying anything, but if tube 1 doesn’t fit, then I would trim the corner in this picture to make tube 1 fit.
It looks like it extends about 5 mm past the slit, so I would trim off 5 mm at the corner and gradually…[Read more]

Hi Tuk,
Apologies for the slow reply – for some reason the notification for this post went to my spam folder and I just saw it now.
A 1 cm difference isn’t a big deal (it’s about 1% of the overall length of the seam) and it won’t make a noticeable difference in the finished packraft, but how to accommodate it depends a bit on the adjacent tubes…[Read more]

Hi,
I’m just starting out with the build of the two-person kit 🙂 .
One question: When aligning the 3R/3L pieces to the alignment dot, the end of the piece does not align to the slit like described in the description (see photos). It’s off by around 1 cm so seems significant.
It’s the same when aligning the 2R/2L pieces, the slits do not align…[Read more]

I created a design and then drew it on the back of a sheet of light coloured dressmakers carbon paper. I put the carbon paper design over a suitable scrap of TPU fabric and traced my design… transferring the image on to the fabric. Then I cut out the design and heat sealed it onto the hull. The transfer lines wash off.
