Great idea! Another option would be an inner tube from a farm tractor tire. That would give you a standard tire valve for inflation as well as being super tough.

... sometimes it's just that simple... I had my dinghy down and deflated for some maintenance. My neighbor was mowing and for reasons I can't comprehend, decided to ride right next to it, and, you guessed it, he clipped the side!! Which subsequently pulled more under before it tore free.. thus, a HUGE hole down the side. I was just about to strip it down into patch kit material but this might be the answer!! Looking up those bags now, then maybe sew some velcro to the seam to close it off the chamber. I'm excited now! 8^)

so crate of 10 for 250 is 25 usd each.. roughly.. not far off the price of a double sized air mattress. you can get a single air mattress at about 15 usd approx.. those are likely more durable though. another option is expanding spray foam. but it would not then deflate and would cost more.. this is effective and cheap. i cant fault it. beats buying a new boat.

There’s actually a product called Inflatasaver. Works good. Repaired my rib.

Here's another solution that's a little out of the box. I was thinking further about what I could inflate inside of the damaged segment and it occured to me that a recycled segment (Valve included from another abandoned or cheap inflatable boat would be perfect. I see cheap inflatable boats on market place sometimes.

Great idea! Does Adrien know he's on the YT? This video should have been shared alot already... everytime a newcomer asks... anyone repair dinghies?

[@roythomas9376]

I work for Defender. I sell lots of dinghies and coach people on how to repair them (or not) . Just watched your vid and OMG this is brilliant!!! Can’t wait to pass this info on to customers.

[@NathanCampbellGuitarist]

Thanks for the idea, I just got an old one that holds some air but needs repair. Got it for free so if I can make it float it is a win.

[@sailingbrooklynne]

Clark- 11 months later and my RIB has a leak I cant find/patch. Remembered your cargo bag video. Have there been any negative experiences with this idea? On the other hand, has anyone tried it and been happy?
