I got a problem... A few weeks ago one of the outer pockets teared from back to front for about 2 meter while I was using it as a raft (without the mast) on a calm river in my city (Ghent, Belgium). We were actually not moving at all at that time, just floating and having a drink (maybe too...

Ok, thanks Petros, that's very usefull information about the centreboard. Wood indeed is more attractive I agree, but building time was important for me. I can build this boat from scratch in 10 days (full time) and there are allmost no parts that can easily break and if they do, it's very easy...

The centreboard (and rudders) are made of plywood covered with glassfiber and epoxy, they have NACA profile. Next step is to buy an electric outboard...

inflatable catamaran with tubeclamps I added some photos. If you want I can post more details on construction. The total cost for my project was about 2000 euro, the most expensive part being a Harken carbo block (500 euro). Al the aluminium tubes and tubeclamps cost about 1200.

I'm new to this forum and I just wanted to share my first boatbuilding experience with you. I managed to buy second hand two floats from a cataraft (hypalon fabric) and I made a new frame for it so I can use it as an inflatable catamaran. The frame is build with 60 mm diameter aluminium tubes, 3...
