Crew removes floor panels from dinghy on beach
¿Qué cubre este video?
A Bris 12-ft inflatable dinghy develops two concurrent problems in Georgetown, Exumas: a persistent air leak in the rear quarter tube and a longitudinal floor-panel rail that has separated from the hull, allowing the floor panels to flex independently.0:41 The crew beaches the dinghy, deflates it three-quarters of the way, and pulls all floor panels to inspect the underside.1:25 Soapy water applied to the tube interior rules out a sub-panel leak; the source is a previously applied patch that itself failed.2:00 That patch is stripped off, a new double patch is applied, and the floor panels are re-seated with the rail re-secured.2:47 The repair sequence covers deflating an inflatable to access floor panels, using soapy water to locate air leaks, and removing and replacing failed adhesive patches on PVC tube fabric. A first patch that leaks requires complete removal before a second patch can seal properly.
