Excellent Service

I didn’t expect the spares to be available for my aging RIB but they were and at a reasonable price. Communication has been excellent and the instructions on fitting make the job much easier.

I was able to find the glue “seal skin” that you can put inside of a leaky inflatable boat tube and fix those little leaks that are hard to find.

Even though this is a European company, I was able to order from Canada without an issue and the glue arrived pretty fast.
I’ll be a returning customer!

Thank you for a lovely review about the service you received and the custom made name patches we made for your Avon. If you would like to send some photos of the name patches to us, we would love to see them now they're installed.
