| Need DIYinstructions 4 RIB for Catapult catamaran and more I just purchased a beated up inflatable Catapult catamaran. After furthere research I found these were the first production hulls made of PVC - subsequent were made of hypalon. I noted my mistake after the purchase so live and learn I want to build my own hulls but with hypalon. I have rebuilt several sailboats and built a couple of proas so I think with basic instruction I can do this myself. I understand there is a member her by the name of Sealion who is an expert on building hypalon RIBs - since the Catapult is a british boat and I am in Miami - well, I rather try to see if I can make the hulls myself before I order teh replacement hulls. My ultimate goal and the reason I boat the boat is that I want to build an inflatable proa - I figure if Mr. Sealion can walk me thru the basics, I can get my feet wet on the catapult before I tackle designing the inflatable proa - Thanks |

| Purchased the Hypalon - will use old floats as patterns Well Due to lack of response and not finding much on how to build inflatable hulls I decided to go at it alone based mainly on instructions from sites dealing with repairs - I will documment all steps and will publish them later. Just got my hypalon and the inside and outside tapes, waiting on the glue |
