Re- tubing

[sc1111]

Hi all,

I have a Humber destroyer 6 m and osprey 5.6 both in need of retubing, any suggestions preferably south west?

[Jon Tallis]

Tamar Inflatables in Lostwithiel retubed a 5.8 Narwhal (in Hypalon) for me a few years back. Did an absolutely cracking job at a very reasonable price. Would use them again without hesitation.

I missed the SW bit by OP but your statement above is still untrue

Daniel, for once I'm with Kerny, whilst the OP did say preferably Sth West you said "the whole tube industry is in the South West", whilst I'm not knocking any of the names you've mentioned as I'm sure they are all good at what they do, there are others tube builders / repairers around the country who also deserve not to be forgotten about, Steve has already mentioned Nth West Ribs and Inflatables who have an enviable reputation for service, but I'd also like to Add SIT, Specialised Inflatable Technology Ltd, of Leyland, they retubed my SR4 and did a great job for me:

I can highly recommend Giovanni at Rodella Ribs. He did some wonderful remedial work on my pretty worn out tubes on the Ribtec last year, to keep them going for a bit longer before a full retube.

Still going very strong a year later, currently on the return of a Poole to Penzance to Poole trip over the bank holiday weekend.

Will certainly be revisiting Giovanni when I can't eek any more life out of the current tubes!

Had my Scorpion re-tubed by ribshop this spring. Tubes were built by Henshaws and fitted by ribshop.

Bizarre thing was that it was cheaper for ribshop to do the job than for me to take the boat direct to Henshaws.

I've had some superb work done by Scott at RibRepair in the New Forest as well a couple of years ago. Wouldn't hesitate to use him again, but have now found Giovanni just up the road in Poole which for me is so much more convenient being only a 10 min tow away.
