Airdeck
I’m thinking of buying a cheap gymnast’s airmat to use as an airdeck in an Avon Redseal. Is it a silly idea?

How to get twenty years out of an Inflatable.
Simple! Just make sure it's got Avon written on it. You still see black Avon dinghies around, and they stopped making them in 1968!!
I've got a grey Redseal built in 1977, and an S340 from 1982,...

The Avon S100 and S250 were both the same size, but the 100 was more lightly built. The S250 had anti hogging strips along the tops of the tubes and may (I can't remember!) have had a red foredeck as...

I wouldn't worry about colours. Just get decent Hypalon tubes and they'll last and last. My 97 Avon 311 Rib is in white. Yes, it gets dirty and is the devil's own job to get clean, but the tubes are...

Sib in heavy Seas
I seem to recall reading some years ago that inshore rescue boats had a windspeed limit put on them.
Apparently the SIBS could take any weather, but the crews couldn't, and above a certain...

This accident at Padstow hasn't yet been fully investigated, so there shouldn't be an uninformed kneejerk reaction.

Launching without a slipway
I think your problem lies with the engine. On most canals and rivers you'll be nudging the speed limit on tickover, and the weight of a 15hp...............
I think your boat should be light enough...

Oldest RIB
If you extend it to SIBS, we still see the occasional black Avon Dinghy around here. They stopped making them in, I think, 1968.

Repairing Baffles.
I might get shot down for this, but I don't think I'd worry too much.
If the tubes are otherwise sound, the chances of getting a catastrophic rip in normal usage are pretty minute. A puncture of a...

Wood floor + keel for Avon Rover.
The 280 and S60 series didn't have an inflatable keel. They just had a flat floor and they skidded along reasonably but wetly.
I mess about with inflatables, and I've had a Redcrest on the plane on...
