It is like a sacred ritual. The family equips the car "in nature". In the midst of food and “the most necessary” (so as not to forget the spoons) - “special equipment”: meat for barbecue, fishing rods, skewers ... I would like to push under the elbow, tell me: “Boat, don’t forget the boat!” "What more! - the head of the family grunts. “Maybe you should also grab a fridge with a sofa?” As the hero of the cartoon “The Return of the Prodigal Parrot” (in the voice of Gennady Khazanov) would say: “Gray! These are PVC rowing boats! ”
Stop After all, you neglect the opportunity to become, to the delight of the children, the captain of the "home" battleship! How can you forget about childhood dreams and not instruct your son or daughter to come up with the name "frigate"? And a boat ride with his wife? They say that the stars reflected in the water from the boat are much more beautiful than from the coast.
Why Western Europe prefers them
This, of course, is far from all the benefits of a PVC boat. The reviews of their owners testify to their affordable price, mobility, good consumer qualities. The most popular are single and double. Such boats do not require registration, because the displacement of the “kopecks” is an average of 225 kg. They are resistant to the sun, salt water, friction, do not rot. Rigidity is provided by five layers of durable synthetic cord. Each of them is covered with a moisture-proof polyvinyl chloride from above and below.
Adhesive adhesive fastens the layers of the PVC boat. Reviews indicate an increased strength of the reinforced structure.
Such boats serve 10-15 years, which is one and a half to two times longer than wooden ones (and that is when the latter are perfectly stored).
To buy a boat is not to buy a chicken
Buying a boat is a serious matter. Inspect the transport bag, remember how the boat is folded (this is the best option). Place it in an open area and pump until it is shaped (it should bend). The boat should not have cracks, delamination of sealing tapes and individual parts. Then lay the bottom, fix the cans (without delamination and burrs) and the transom hinged (if provided). Pump the boat, but not with the auto pump - it has excess power.
When inflating, watch the work of the membranes (cups), for the reliable insulation of both sections of the single and double boats. Allowed side skew - up to 45 mm for a PVC boat. The reviews indicate that if the oars pins are tight in the oarlocks, then right in the store you can ask to fix it.
Pay attention to the quality of fastening the handles for towing and carrying (eyebrows), check the assembly of the oars. Backlash and turning them are unacceptable.
Turning the boat over, check the condition of the bottom. The line of gluing to the sides should be smooth, without assembly.
Well, perhaps all the "wisdom". Let your stay in nature be interesting and exciting! Motor boats of PVC are also for sale. Unlike the oars, they have a mounted transom for an electric or gasoline engine with a power of up to 3.5 hp. A speed of 9-10 km / h is typical for a double PVC boat. Reviews indicate that with one passenger it increases in one and a half to two times.
With the purchase of you! You have done a great job for your family - you have acquired a new quality of relaxation.
