That sounds reasonable – do let us know how it goes 🙂

Nice work, Lyn! I know how much time and effort goes in to prototyping, so well done! My only comment is that handling might be improved if the gear storage area is in the bow instead of the stern, as I’ve noticed that with a pack or passenger up front there’s less yaw induced with each paddle stroke (because of the increased “moment of inertia”…[Read more]

Wow, good work, Chris! I wondered what that connection looked like inside, but didn’t have a screw driver long enough to take it apart. Thanks for posting!

Check out this completely inflatable pontoon boat built by Ron S. It’s designed for fishing and drifting down rivers, and the goal was to make something lightweight that he could easily hop on and off of wearing waders. Here’s what Ron had to say about it:

“The camo raft in the photo is my 3rd generation. My first raft was the 210D Yellow raft.…[Read more]

Hi Eric – thanks for joining 🙂

I’ll answer the part here that wasn’t covered in the whitewater topic.

You could definitely add a second layer of fabric to the inside bottom of an inflatable floor – you would just have to cut “windows” in it so the top layer of the floor could be attached to the bottom layer (either using baffles, or by joining…[Read more]

Hi Edward – great job on the packraft, and thanks for posting the photos! Lake Taupo looks just as crystal clear as I remember it – what a great place to paddle!

Please keep us posted on your cruiser deck, as it looks like you’re on the right track 🙂

Hi Josh – I would definitely choose the seat, as it raises you up into a more comfortable paddling position. Without a seat, you have to lift your arms up quite high, which feels a bit awkward and would be tiring after a while. You could bring something else to sit on, like maybe a folded up camping mattress, but there’s a good chance it would get…[Read more]

Done 🙂

Looks good! Thanks for posting the picture so people can see how it’s done.

Hi Mikkel, I have just posted an update about this here. I will add the green fabric to the shop so it’s available for pre-order – that’s a good idea. Thanks!
