Inflatable Service in La Paz
Keeping Your Dinghy Alive
That was the idea. Keeping Dinghies alive and in top seaworthy condition. Rock Hard understands completely that Inflatable Dinghies (also called Dinks) are the workhorses of your boat and because of this, have a finite lifespan. Rubbing against the concrete dinghy dock, being stepped on with shoes, and UV degradation all take a toll on the life of a dinghy. The thin rub rail is little protection and a leak can easily happen if care is not taken.
We have found a product that we are truly excited about to help extend Your Dink's Life
Rock Hard Dinghy Services was born from a combination of absolute neccesity when living on the water as we do and having daily use of our dinghy both too and from the town of La Paz, but also too and from shore at any anchorage in the Sea of Cortez, our playground for sailing in our 36’ Piver Trimaran.
We discovered that in order to help protect our Dinghy as well as restore it to its former glory we needed the product SRC – Tuff Coat which is an Incredible Synthetic Rubber Coating TUFF Inflatable Boat Repair System which we have found to be the only way to restore Hypalon and PVC inflatable boats. It Fixes UV damage, threadbare material and most importantly those stubborn pinhole leaks.
After a chemical cleaning with MEK, a very efficient cleaner and an important element combined with the SRC top & bottom coat and a thorough check for leaks, patching any small tears, cuts or punctures. The next step is making sure that the humidity and temperature are correct in Rock Hard’s temperature controlled factory before painting your Dinghy with SRC. There is sufficient evidence to prove that the temperature and humidity are crucial in determining that the synthetic rubber coating adheres and fully does its job in the elimination of abrasions, pinhole leaks and cracking skin. Now your Dinghy has had a face lift that has restored it to its rightful place as your reliable and seaworthy workhorse.
New Business to La Paz
Rock Hard Dinghy Services is proud to be the first Dinghy repair service in La Paz to offer a top notch product, service and temperature controlled workshop to give the Cruisers of Baja an opportunity while visiting La Paz to have their dinghies repaired and/or restored. We promise you’ll be excited too when you see the amazing results that we can produce.
Helpful Hints you can do yourself
Keep your dinghy fully inflated - If your dinghy is always soft, the seams are prone to separation and it will abrade quicker. Keeping your dinghy properly inflated will both increase it's lifespan and make trips in it more comfortable.
Custom made canvas covers help stop sun damage, and minor abrasions which are a dinghy's enemy.
A Stern dinghy anchor is a necessity when going to unfamiliar dinghy docks. You never know when you will be tying up to a rough concrete wall with a surge.
Tiny fenders can really help to extend the life of your dinghy when you need to rub up against other hard sided dinghy's or docks.
