The best accessories for semi-rigid boat
Used or not as annexes, semi-rigid boats shine by their versatility. We had already talked in our article "Why buy a semi-rigid boat?"The qualities of these light and surprisingly efficient boats, such as their high buoyancy, their driving and transportation, their resistance or their price.
But if the model of a boat matters as to the nature of the outings at sea you will do, the equipment Or accessories that you will choose are just as decisive.
In this article, Orca Retail advises you on all The best accessories and equipment to hold to make the most of the potential of your pneumatic boat.
Semi-rigid
Semi-rigid boats are suitable for fishing activities. With a lower flotation line than rigid shell boats, fishing passengers are both closer to the action but also benefit from more stability.
The first thing to expect is of course the peaches ! And for more comfort of use or enjoying idleness, investing in one or more canopy (also called rack) seems the B.A-BA. There are many different models, built-in, to fix yourself, with or without a protective cap (to avoid rust inside the canary holder), pivotable or not to change axis, etc. For a planned cars, count a budget of 15 to 60 euros for the usual models.
Real fishermen will not forget to also invest in a leather support Or bait, to be fixed or in a suction cup system, to have their accessories at hand.
Depending on your fishing style, you can opt or not for the purchase of a train, ideal for mackerel fishing in particular, and if you want to enjoy the wind and a little movement during your session!
A set of knives To flake or even lift the nets can be interesting to occupy your sailors or other budding cooks take advantage of their catch directly (and reject the non -desirable parts at sea rather than in the trash!). For cooking, there are many kitchen accessory options that you can embark on your semi-rigid.
You will be able to find stoves, planchas, BBQ or even small kitchenettes to directly enjoy the freshly caught fish (without forgetting the mini fridges or the ice cream to quench your thirst).
And to go to the table, some modular semi-rigid allow you to go from a rear basting configuration to a set of seats + table, ideal for sharing a meal in a friendly atmosphere.
Of course, we also advise you to invest in a glacial Or any other container that can keep the fish. The semi-rigid boats being once again close to water, you are not immune to attempted flight if you simply put your catches in the boat!
For fishing games that last, don't forget to protect yourself from the sun! Have a slum mounted on your semi-rigid seems the best solution, if not, think of heads covers to avoid unpleasant surprises and insolations!
Last tip, and even if we have already planned a good range of accessories, Try not to overload your pneumatic boat too much in bulky equipment For your fishing games in order to be able to circulate easily, especially if many of you are.
Relax
If your ambition is rather to take advantage of the sun and the sea to sunbathe, contemplate the horizon and more generally to relax, here are what accessories are essential for your semi-rigid:
- Bathing beaches : Located most willingly on the back, the bathing beaches are modular spaces that fill the space between benches (by means of an adjustable table for example) to offer a relaxation plan a little similar to a tatami , which can accommodate several people. The bathing beaches are perfect for sunbathing and taking a nap. Also provide some cushions (traditional or inflatable) to complete the whole.
- Ladder : Almost essential for the entry or output of swimmers in water, be sure to choose a model that will be easily usable by all (with enough height underwater for example). In rope or rigid, telescopic, retractable, retractable, foldable or out of a trunk, the possibilities are large.
- Shower : If you want to get rid of the salt after swimming, the shower is a must! To be coupled with a clear water tank, there are a little prices of shower, depending on the finishes, their discretion, length, etc.
- Sea wc : for optimal comfort of passengers and if the size of your semi-rigid allows it.
- A radio or speakers : Nothing more pleasant than a little music to relax or party on a boat!
- Taud, parasol, bimini : In short, enough to protect you properly in bad weather or sun storm.
- Marine dishes : unbreakable to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Do nautical sports
Are you more looking for thrills? No problem ! With their very good acceleration capacities and their great maneuverability, semi-rigid boats are indicated for sports such as water skiing, wakeboarding, or any other accessory that can be towed (buoy, banana). What should we then plan as accessories to do water sports in semi-rigid?
- Wakeboard, skis, buoys, bananas (or hot dogs), or other plates, of course.
- Of traction rope With a lift (to hold with your hands) of course, to attach you to the boat. Most of the strings provided for water sports are floating, make sure that is the case.
- A Ski-skiing ring / mooring system / hook / mast To secure the tie of the rope.
- A rear view mirror : very important! Indeed, your semi-rigid boat may not be equipped with it by default, or that it does not give you a fairly good visibility. It is essential to be able to keep an eye at any time on what is going on behind you for the safety of sports activities where people are dragged.
- Of the safety equipment : life vests, buoys, spare strings, emergency kit for bad falls etc.
- A inflator (on foot or electric) for equipment such as buoys, and some rustins in case of hooks or punctures.
For diving
Semi-rigid boats being closer to water, they constitute ideal platforms for divers. Palms, masks, snorkels are obviously essential for lovers of "snorkeling". We also recommend the purchase of Welp bags or pockets If you want to protect fragile goods or for example take photos underwater.
Have a floating rope is always welcome, especially in the configurations with current so that the divers do not move away from the boat.
If you prefer diving in depth, you will of course need oxygen bottles with their regulator, but Torch lamps Are also recommended in gloomy weather or after a few tens of meters deep.
Of the harpoons rifles will allow them to enjoy the pleasures of underwater hunting!
Finally, everything right ordinary for the safety of divers must also be provided (to call emergencies in particular).
