ALL HYPALON®. ALL THE TIME.
Every Achilles boat is made with our own proven
four-layered fabric reinforced with DuPont Hypalon.
We are one of the few inflatable boat companies that
manufacture our own Hypalon fabric, and have for
over 30 years. This insures consistent quality
year-to-year and boat-to-boat.
 No
fabric is more effective in resisting damage from
the elements, oil, gasoline or abrasions. And
nothing is better for air retention than the
interior Neoprene® coating we use.
So we take the extra time Hypalon hand-gluing
requires to insure that unsurpassed quality, safety
and durability are built into every Achilles, from
our smallest dinghy to our largest utility boat.
So the question shouldn’t be “which inflatable?” but
“which Achilles?”.

UNSURPASSED SEAM
CONSTRUCTION |
|
Our seams are overlapped a full inch and
reinforced with seam tape both inside and
out. No one else takes so many steps to
insure seams will last.
 |
|
A SMOOTH, SIMPLE OAR SYSTEM |
|
We invented the fold-down, locking oar
system that makes rowing a breeze while
keeping oars secured and out of the way when
not in use. |
|
|
NON-CORROSIVE CHECK VALVES |
|
All Achilles valves are non-corrosive and
double-capped for safety. They are
engineered for easy "one-way" inflation and
instant deflation. |
|
|
STRESS BEARING TRANSOMS |
|
Transom failure is a common problem on some
inflatables. We secure our transoms with a
unique Neoprene rubber mold and transom tape
combination, and not just one or the other.
