I guess all you ribnobbas are right, it was a rigid inflatable boat, which brings me on to another lucky point. Thank god it was staged on a lake! had it been a proper bit of rough salty stuff, the 'toobs' would have most likely failed (as they usually do) and my challenge would have been over. ..Course, I wouldn't have chosen to build a rigid inflatable boat if the challenge had mentioned any waves!..that would obviously have been very foolish.

Next time (if there is one) I'll be sure to build something with no similarities to a blow up bote whatsoever.....maybe they'll have us on the old briney next time.
