Cosa tratta questo video
A cruising sailor reports persistent structural failure of an inflatable dinghy, which suffers from widespread delamination of the floor from the buoyancy tubes.▶ 0:00 The floor separation creates a significant leak, forcing the crew to bail water constantly during short transits.▶ 1:59 Despite previous attempts to patch the rear section, the material continues to peel away under the weight of passengers, leading the owner to conclude the dinghy is nearing the end of its service life.▶ 23:00 The crew plans to perform a temporary repair using sandpaper, acetone, and adhesive, allowing 48 hours for the bond to cure before returning the boat to service.▶ 18:00 The owner expresses frustration with the maintenance burden and intends to replace the inflatable with a rigid dinghy to eliminate future delamination and inflation issues.▶ 20:45 Additionally, the sailor notes a malfunctioning speedo sensor, likely fouled by growth, and describes the use of a redundant chain hook system for anchoring in 39 meters of water.▶ 16:05
