PVC repairs in Honwav
Hi can you give me some advice..I have torn a gash in tube just below rubbing strake on side….couldnt understand why wife was so poor at pumping tube up - until I realised I had created two holes as I dragged boat out of Erde trailer - probably on a nut on side - trailer needs padding inside but the tube needs repairing - I’m in Kendal Cumbria do you have any recommendations for a repairer? Thanks

North West Ribs & Inflatables at Chorley . I've used them previously and they're very good.

How big is the gash and when you say "just below the rubbing strake" how far below?

I’ve been carrying the sib in an Erde trailer - which has been brilliant - light weight and good storage - but I think the tear has been created by dragging boat against a a nut head - anyone using a trailer and lined one - any advice appreciated to stop damaging in the future
