Latest Little Avon and yamaha

Nice one @N1ck . I like the 3m size as nothing is a huge job ( literally) and its not big money to get into for 'bits' when needed.

So far I'm using August Race cleaner on the tubes ( I was gifted some : ) ) - which is doing well, plain bleach on the rubbing strake and will dilute and use to reduce the mould spots on the top tubes . Its clearly been a tender on a diesel boat - so just grimy really .

@Martin - I know Avon & Bombard both used the same concept for a few years - Avon with a Hypalon & GRP hull , Bombard with PVC & moulded plastic hull - which was much lighter ! . I think the theory was they can go 'almost' flat on the deck or on their side on yachts.

@Roy54 - Think it goes down to about 2.7 ish m long deflated … (I need to try it ! ) … I know I got one fully in the back of my old car once ! - new car is too short for that - so roof or sticking out is needed .

Worse job I have is removing the antifoul off the tubes, have resigned myself that its not all going to come off so will be looking at repainting them
