Fishing has always been a popular form of recreation, despite the emergence of more and more new types of entertainment. You can spend time outdoors, and even on a pond, and even get fish using a PVC boat. In addition, having a boat, you can also do other activities. active rest.

For many years, popularity, practicality and reliability, and recently, due to the development of technology, inflatable boats made of PVC - polyvinyl chloride have been distinguished by their availability. Such boats are distinguished by very good driving characteristics, in addition, they are very convenient to use. They are not in vain used for extreme species sports. And for ordinary fishing, a pvc boat is an incomparable option.

In this article, we will see how you can make an inflatable boat with your own hands in a fairly simple way. The process of making a pvc boat with your own hands in this case is good because you can control every step of production, and "fit it for yourself" as much as possible. If you get creative in solving this task, you can create the perfect swimming equipment just for you.

Recall that we previously described how to glue, but this boat is not inflatable.

Do-it-yourself PVC boat: patterns, progress of work

Do-it-yourself inflatable boat requires pattern drawings for patterns.

1 ) you need to choose a piece of PVC fabric, density - 640–850 g / m2;
2 ) on it, mark the patterns for the sides and bottom;
3 ) cut patterns - preferably with the help of devices that cut the fabric with a laser, which ensures millimeter accuracy of the cut line;
4 - glue the patterns and weld them together using polyurethane-based glue; welding is done by vulcanization, ultrasonic welding or hot air flow using a building hair dryer;
5 ) a mandatory item - testing the boat.
It is very good if you first model the future watercraft on a computer in a three-dimensional editor. Such a program allows you to analyze all the steps of work, and avoid possible errors.

We glue the PVC boat with our own hands

1 ) the joints are degreased with acetone;
2 ) coat both surfaces with PVC adhesive, including hardener, after which the product should be set aside for 20–30 minutes;
3 ) we heat both surfaces with a building hair dryer, and connect them together;
4 ) rolled with a roller for rolling PVC coatings.

When the hull is ready, all the necessary details should be glued - for example, an inflatable neck, seat mounts, a transom and other structural elements of our water vehicle. Here, only our imagination and design features are the only limitations. It is important to observe symmetry, since redoing will be expensive. If you do everything gradually and carefully, you will get a very valuable inflatable boat.

Before testing the vessel, it should be tested under load. To do this, the boat needs to be inflated and walk along its sides. After that, the swimming facility should not begin to let air through at all in any place - in this case, we can assume that the gluing was successful and proceed to tests in an open reservoir. However, when going out for the first time on a boat, you should not sail far from the coast. And then - practical tests - we move forward directly to fishing.

The pattern drawing shows a simple model with which it is recommended to start making a boat with your own hands. After acquiring the necessary skills and experience, you can go to create more complex models:

PVC boats are becoming more and more popular every day among the fishermen of our country. Every fisherman at least once thought about having his own swimming facility: a boat or a boat. No one needs to explain how significantly a PVC boat expands the possibilities of an angler in catching fish. Owning your own boat or boat is not cheap, but there is an alternative: a PVC inflatable boat.

An inflatable boat, unlike a regular one, has a large number of advantages:

• An inflatable boat takes up significantly less storage space, it can be stored in a garage, utility room, even in an apartment.
• It is much more convenient to transport an inflatable boat to the place of fishing, there is no need to purchase a car trailer, install a tow bar.
• To launch an inflatable boat, there is no need to look for special place, the inflatable boat weighs much less, so even one person can easily launch it into the water.
• The price of an inflatable boat is several times cheaper, so a large number of people can afford to buy it.

The first inflatable boats were made of rubber, they were not very reliable in operation, but they were inexpensive, anyone could afford to buy such a boat for fishing, hunting or tourism. The basis of a rubber boat is a synthetic mesh or cotton fabric coated on both sides with rubber for gas tightness. Over time, manufacturers of rubber boats have improved the technology of their manufacture, began to use rubber with a high content of natural rubber, so that the boats have become much better and more reliable.

In the 90s, the first inflatable boats appeared from a new, more modern material polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC fabric was a nylon mesh coated on both sides with a layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is an elastic and airtight material. PVC boats were significantly superior to rubber boats in terms of performance, but at first they cost much more than rubber boats. A little later, an increasing number of manufacturers began to appear on the market and the prices for PVC boats dropped significantly. Today, PVC inflatable boats have become the most popular type of boat of all.

Advantages of PVC boats

• Easy to store PVC boats. Before storage, the rubber boat must be thoroughly washed, dried properly, sprinkled with talc and stored, if possible, deployed, in a partially inflated state, so that the boat does not rot and become moldy. There are no such problems with the PVC boat, I rolled it up and put it in storage until spring: in the garage, on the loggia, in the basement. PVC boat storage temperature from -40 to +50 degrees. It is advisable to store a rubber boat at a temperature of -5 to +35 degrees.
• PVC boats are more resistant to tearing and abrasion. PVC fabric in its structure is denser and coarser, therefore it can better withstand mechanical stress. The rubberized fabric of the rubber boat does not resist longitudinal cuts well, so the rubber boat must be protected from sharp branches, snags, sharp stones and glass fragments.
• The seams of PVC boats are much stronger and more aesthetically pleasing than the seams of rubber boats. The seams are the weakest point of the rubber boat, to reinforce them, the seams are glued with special tapes, so they look much less aesthetically pleasing. And despite the reinforcement of the seams with tapes, the strength of the seams of a rubber boat is still worse than that of a PVC boat. The tensile strength of the seams in a PVC boat is 3.5-4.5 kg., in the seams of a rubber boat 0.5 kg.
• PVC boat cylinders hold a higher pressure, their working pressure is 0.3, for rubber boats the working pressure is 0.15. The pressure in the cylinders of a rubber boat must be carefully controlled, otherwise, in the heat, pumped cylinders can burst, this can especially happen with an old boat that has served its owner for many years. This does not happen with a PVC boat.
• PVC boats are lighter than rubber inflatable boats. This moment becomes especially sensitive with a large inflatable boat.
• The fabric from which PVC boats are made is much more practical than rubberized fabric. It does not rot, is not exposed to fungi and bacteria, does not absorb moisture, is not afraid of frost, ultraviolet radiation.
• PVC boats are well suited for use with a motor, as PVC fabric is not afraid of contact with petroleum products: gasoline, engine oil.
• PVC fabric manufacturers produce more than 20 colors and shades of their fabrics, which allows PVC boat designers and builders to create beautiful and aesthetically pleasing boats for every taste of their customers.
• PVC boats are considered safer, even in the event of a boat cylinder puncture, the air from the PVC boat cylinder leaves much more slowly, leaving the boat owner more time to take measures to save the boat and property in the boat. Rubber boats sink faster.

Disadvantages of PVC boats

• PVC boats, due to the greater rigidity of the material, take up more volume when folded. A rubber boat of the same size, when folded, will take up less space than a PVC fabric boat.
• In late autumn, at low temperatures, when folding a PVC boat, difficulties often arise due to the fact that the fabric of the boat coarsens, becomes stiff and hard to fold. Although speaking about this disadvantage, it should be noted that very few people use the boat at sub-zero temperatures, most owners use an inflatable boat at an ambient temperature above 15 degrees.
• Repairing a PVC boat is considered more difficult compared to repairing a rubber boat. In the early days after the first boats made of PVC fabric, it was very difficult for the owners of such boats to find glue and a repair kit to fix their boat. Currently, each PVC boat comes with glue and a set of patches to repair punctures and cuts in the field. In addition, through the ads, you can find craftsmen in your city who can repair your PVC boat in a quality manner, eliminating any problems with your boat.
• A PVC boat is usually much more expensive than a rubber boat. Although recently the prices for PVC boats have almost caught up with the prices for rubber boats.
• The PVC material of the fabric can be easily burned by a cigarette or coal from a fire, so you need to be careful and attentive when using the boat, especially if you are a smoker.

PVC boat selection

A lot of questions arise in a person when choosing an inflatable boat, especially if this is his first boat. When choosing a boat, you need to consider several important points:

• The size of the boat should match the size of the water where you will be fishing. The larger the pond, the larger your boat should be.
• Be sure to consider the number of people who will be on the boat with you.
• For fishing in a small body of water: a pond or a small river, a simple rowing boat is enough, designed for one, maximum for two people. For fishing in a large body of water: a large reservoir, a large river, a lake, it is better to purchase a PVC boat with a transom to install an outboard outboard motor.
• Pay attention to the number of cylinders in the boat, there should be at least two, even better three. The more tanks in the boat, the safer it is.
• Boats differ in the density of the PVC fabric from which they are made. The greater the density of the fabric, the thicker and stronger the fabric, but at the same time, the weight of the boat increases. It is advisable to choose boats with a sufficiently high density of PVC fabric.
• The bottom of the boat may be different in design. There are boats with an inflatable bottom, as well as boats with a bottom made of plywood or even aluminum.
• If boat performance and stability on the water are important to you, try testing your boat model. future boat by taking a boat of the same model from your fellow fishermen and trying it on the water.

* Calculations use average data for Russia

Organization own production boats require a relatively large start-up capital(according to some reports, from 3-5 million rubles) and, no less important, the presence of great knowledge and experience in this area. The manufacture of such products is difficult process taking a long time. It can take several months to develop one model, including design, sample production and testing.

Inflatable boats are used by hunters, tourists and just vacationers. They are relatively reliable, compact, easy to operate and inexpensive.

There are several of the most famous Russian manufacturers who specialize in the production of such products: Ufa plant, Yaroslavl plant, LLC PFC Mnev and K, Leader, LLC TD Fregat, TPS Center Mnev, Rotan, Mobile Group, Solar; joint ventures: Badger (St. Petersburg - South Korea), Korsar (Moscow / St. Petersburg - South Korea), Petroset (official representative of Yamaha in Russia). Among Western manufacturing companies whose products are actively promoted on Russian market, you can call Zodiak, QuickSilver, Suzuki Marine, Honda.

Inflatable boats are rowing and motor. The difference lies in their design. The first ones are quite simple and cheap. Their sides are usually divided into several compartments, which gives them greater safety: even if one compartment is damaged, the boat will not sink. The bottom (payola) of the boat is semi-rigid and rigid. In the first case, plastic or plywood is inserted into it, and in the second case, it is completely reinforced with plywood or a light alloy plate. In addition, sometimes, to make the hull more rigid, it is equipped with a rigid bench, which is installed between the sides. In addition to it or instead of it, inflatable pillows are also used as seats.

From boats of the first type, models with an outboard engine differ markedly in design. The nature of the differences depends on the power of the installed engine and the operating conditions of a particular model. The main difference between these boats and rowing boats is the presence of a rigid transom on which the engine is installed, and stronger elements for attaching it to the hull.

Boats with a small engine up to 2-3 horsepower have either an inflatable bottom or reinforced with transverse rails. They, like conventional inflatable boats, can be easily folded into a bag for transportation. Boats with a more powerful motor are equipped with hard floorboards.

Production technology of inflatable boats

In the production of inflatable boats, several basic materials are used: reinforced and non-reinforced PVC materials, rubberized fabric, polyurethane, hipalon and neoprene. All these materials differ in properties and operating conditions. Most domestically produced boats and cylinders for them are made of reinforced PVC. This material consists of several layers. It is based on a synthetic woven fabric, which is covered on both sides with several layers of PVC. Since polyvinyl chloride in its pure form is a non-plastic substance, polyurethane is added to it during production. There are such types of PVC fabrics as fabric, special for boats and construction. Special "boat" PVC material has several advantages. It is resistant to dirt, abrasion and UV radiation. It is easy enough to repair if suddenly the boat leaked. The only negative: this material does not lend itself well to local staining. It can be painted only completely and only at the production stage: special dyes are added to polyvinyl chloride.

The second most popular material in our country that is used for the production of boats is rubberized fabric. Its main merit is low price. Unfortunately, among the shortcomings, experts note a slight resistance to fading, abrasion, susceptibility to decay, etc.

Boats made of non-reinforced PVC are produced mainly by Western companies. They are inexpensive, lightweight and easy to use. The disadvantages include the ability of this material to stretch under the influence of high temperatures, poor elasticity at low temperatures and low strength. It should also be noted that if in the production of ordinary inflatable boats the technology of gluing the seams is used, then in the manufacture of models from non-reinforced PVC, the seams of the boat are glued, which increases its reliability.

Ready-made ideas for your business

Hipalon and neoprene are relatively new materials, but they are already actively used in the production of sports equipment, including wetsuits, boats, etc. They are also multi-layered and are made on the basis of synthetic fabric. But unlike PVC, the first woven layer is covered first with a layer of neoprene, and on top of layers of hypalon. This technology is expensive, so it is not used by domestic companies. In addition, the specificity of the raw materials used does not allow welding such material, which further increases the cost of the finished product. However, boats made from this material are different. high quality and long service life.

Inflatable boats are also made from polyurethane itself - the same one that is added to polyvinyl chloride to increase the plasticity of the latter. This material has a high porosity, so it is easily glued to the fabric base. Boats made of this material are ideal for use in extreme conditions.

For the manufacture of boats, domestic manufacturers use high-quality materials and components that are imported from other countries (usually European ones - Germany, Poland, France, Italy, etc.). So, for example, the German company Heytex is considered the leader in the production of special PVC fabric for inflatable boats. Its products are known for their high puncture and abrasion resistance. Also, for the production of boats (except for neoprene models), special equipment for high-frequency welding is required, which ensures complete tightness and strength. weld. UHF welding and vulcanization are used to make seams on PVC coated materials.

For production of PVC inflatable boats Finnish five-layer is used reinforced PVC fabric of Scantarp concern and Mirasol PVC fabric (South Korea) from 700 g / m2 - 1100 g / m2, which has proven its quality in the market of PVC products. In the manufacture PVC inflatable boats are used modern technologies, which allow not only to firmly connect the parts PVC products, and also provide flexibility and elasticity of the seam in places of increased load, which gives high level reliability and safety on the water. Taking into account the comments and preferences of customers, the developers and technologists of the projects presented a wide range of models boat pvc with different technical characteristics and types of equipment.

Depending on the design features, pvc inflatable boats there are several types:

Rowing pvc boats without transom- designed for movement on small lakes and rivers. This type boats has many advantages. They are small and light, designed for one or two places, equipped with one kayak oar or two conventional oars, depending on the model. They have a simple solution - a two-section balloon, seats - an inflatable pillow or a bench. This is a good option for a fisherman or hunter, tourist and traveler, as well as family vacation on water bodies in your region.

PVC transom boats without keel belong to the category of flat-bottomed, designed for use with an electric motor or gasoline engine of low power up to five hp. Unlike the first kind boats, this range has a hard transom for mounting a boat motor. boats are not equipped with hard and inflatable floor, also no keel. At the request of the buyer, boats of this category can be equipped according to their goals and desires under the order. PVC transom boats convenient for moving around water bodies, trolling fishing, river travel, family outdoor activities.

Transom pvc boats With keel thanks to their high technical specifications For many years, they have firmly held a leading position in the fishing accessories market. This type boats designed for motors with a capacity of five or more horsepower for moving through small and large water bodies in the coastal zone of the water area. The entire range transom PVC boats with keel completed hard floor (floor), stringers depending on the model keel short or elongated. When choosing boats from the category of this model range before buying, decide what engine power you need PVC transom keelboat.

Vyat Boat Company accepts orders for personal equipment, carries out installation additional equipment and options with gluing a variety of devices for the entire model range boat pvc provided in the catalog on the site.

PVC boat production technology relatively stable for several decades and at the same time undergoing some changes and modernization. Changes in production occur both in the materials used - the structure of the PVC (polyvinyl chloride), as well as in the technology of working with it. become stronger and more resistant to external influences.

Materials for the manufacture of PVC inflatable boats

Not so long ago, rubberized fabric was used in production, but gradually this material gave way to PVC-coated fabrics.
PVC material used in production is a fabric with pvc coated. PVC can be both single-layer and multi-layer, which affects its strength and stretching. domestic standard PVC material limited only in resistance to temperature - from 5 to 60 degrees and resistance to sea water contaminated with oil products. European standards are more detailed and regulate strength pvc fabric tear and abrasion resistance.
Basis for PVC material is a braided thread. The weave of a woven warp differs in the number of threads in the bundle (usually 1 or 2) and the density between adjacent parallel threads. The number of threads in the weave is indicated in the name of the PVC material (1/1 - one thread intersects each other, 2/2 - pairs of threads intersect, 1/2 - one thread intersects with a pair of threads).
The next important parameter of fabrics for production is the density of the finished material. It is usually expressed in grams per square meter. Some manufacturers PVC fabrics indicate this parameter in the name of the material.
PVC fabrics are also characterized by tensile strength and degree of adhesion. Breaking force pvc fabric, may consist of two numbers showing the required force when tearing the fabric along the weave and across it. The degree of adhesion also indicates the necessary force required to pull off PVC from the base.
The vast majority of manufacturers boat pvc use imported materials to build their ships. Among the most famous brands PVC materials: Vinyplan, Scanplan, Heytex, Valmex, Plastel, Mirasol, Unisol. There are other brands of these materials, but almost all of them have the same characteristics.
When choosing a PVC boat, the buyer wants to get reliability, but it should be borne in mind that modern PVC materials the harder the stronger. Therefore, manufacturers have identified a compromise in this matter and many use pvc fabric conforming to the requirements of the standards.
Another type of material for the production of inflatable boats is Hypolon. Boats made of this material are more expensive (due to the higher cost of the material itself and the complexity of working with highpolon). At the same time, Hypolon is stronger PVC and practically does not pass air. Besides highpolon boats last longer. Usually, the choice is highpolon boats do those who need redundant reliability, the ability to permanently store on outdoors and the constant readiness of the boat for operation. For ordinary infrequent tourist and fishing purposes in central Russia, it is quite sufficient.
