A new chapter for your boat
How does tube replacement work?
Every hull needs an individual approach. This typical workflow is adapted to the condition of your boat.
- 01
Assessment and scope
We start with photos, the boat model and the condition of the tubes. An inspection helps determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
- 02
Measuring and fit
We establish tube geometry and the hull attachment method, then agree on colours, handles, rubbing strakes and fittings.
- 03
Removal and preparation
For a full replacement, old tubes are removed and attachment surfaces prepared. Any hull damage requires a separate agreement on repairs.
- 04
Making the new tubes
New tubes are made to the agreed design. Materials and joining methods are selected for the construction and intended use.
- 05
Installation and fittings
We fit the tubes to the hull and install the agreed fittings, paying attention to geometry, valve access and usability.
- 06
Checks and handover
We check airtightness and connections and explain use and care. The detailed inspection scope is agreed for each project.
Repair or tube replacement?
The decision depends on the condition of the fabric, seams, valves and hull attachment, as well as the extent of the damage. Photos support an initial assessment, but the final scope requires inspection. A local repair and a full replacement are not interchangeable in every case.
Replacement scope and fit
The service includes measurements, removal of old tubes, preparation of attachment surfaces and fitting the new construction. Material, colour, handles and rubbing strakes are agreed individually. Hull repairs require a separate agreement.
Boat delivery and scheduling
Before transport, agree the delivery method, date and equipment to be handed over. Completion depends on inspection, the work required and material availability; we confirm timing in the quotation.
Quotation and handover information
Send the boat model and year, overall photos, close-ups of damage and details of previous repairs. Inspection scope and handover documentation are agreed when placing the order. Servicing does not replace safe operating procedures and regular boat checks.
