Achilles Inflatable Dinghy - 2.28 metre
Purchased new and used as a yacht tender for three sailing seasons. Then, when another yacht and dinghy were acquired, this one was packed carefully away until now. There is one very effective large patch (see photo) covering a small puncture. Maintains full inflation over time. Complete with two-part oars, pump, owners manual and some matching grey Hypalon patching material. Will deliver to a collection point within 15 miles of Exeter. Manufacturer's blurb: "Every Achilles boat is made with our own proven four-layered fabric reinforced with DuPont Hypalon. We are one of the few inflatable boat companies that manufacture our own Hypalon fabric, and have for over 30 years. This ensures consistent quality year-to-year and boat-to-boat. No fabric is more effective in resisting damage from the elements, oil, gasoline or abrasions. And nothing is better for air retention than the interior Neoprene® coating we use. We take the extra time Hypalon hand-gluing requires to ensure that unsurpassed quality, safety and durability are built into every Achilles, from our smallest dinghy to our largest utility boat. We invented the fold-down, locking oar system that makes rowing a breeze while keeping oars secured and out of the way when not in use. Our seams are overlapped a full inch and reinforced with seam tape both inside and out. No one else takes so many steps to ensure seams will last. All Achilles valves are non-corrosive and double-capped for safety. They are engineered for easy "one-way" inflation and instant deflation."
