E-InflatableBoats.com explains that a rigid inflatable boat is defined as a hard-hulled boat with air inflatable collars. RIB hulls are made of fiberglass, aluminum or composite materials. The soft bumpers or fenders, called sponsons, can be air tubes, or all foam systems. These boats are powered by a variety of motors and usually come from the manufacturer as a package ?boat with tube, motor and trailer.
Rigid inflatable boats are more like traditional boats, with hulls supported by a rigid material. The main benefits of these boats are superior performance and easy assembly. To assemble, one simply has to inflate the tubes. However, storage can be a problem because they can? be made smaller than the rigid portion of the boat. Since an RIB is heavier, a davit system (crane like device) is usually required to bring it back onto the boat.
According to E-InflatableBoats.com, rigid inflatable boats can accommodate larger outboard motors than other boats of comparable size, and perform almost as well as rigid boats, especially in tight turns, but without the bulk and weight. A one-piece hull and deck provides comfortable, non-skid footing and a stable platform for skiing, diving or fishing. Although the tubes deflate for storage, RIB? are not compact, and hence, many boaters keep them on trailers, on deck, on their swim step, or on davits.
Rigid inflatable boats are the best performers, and hence, the most expensive. Their rigid fiberglass hulls attached to inflated tubes combine the lightweight stability and buoyancy of inflatable boats with the speed, maneuverability, directional stability, and fuel efficiency of rigid boats.
The beauty of these hard bottom hulled and collared boats is that the tube/collar has flotation, adds stability, and self fendering ?meaning that the RIB won? scratch other hulls. These features of the sponson provide enhanced sea keeping ability, better absorption of shock from waves on impact, easier boarding of other vessels, high visibility, increased swamp buoyancy, and increased stability while stationary and under way.
What are Inflatable jumpers?
Inflatable jumpers, or bounce houses, are used at kids parties, carnivals and other events. They are used in combination with an air blower, which provides a continuous air flow to the bounce house. They can accommodate adults and children alike and come in various styles and sizes. There are several styles of bounce houses, with the most popular including super combo sliders, palaces and castles, sports arenas, and toddler houses.
The super combo slider is one of the most popular inflatable jumpers, as it provides a bounce area, slide and climbing wall in one area. A standard combo slider measures 28 feet(8.5 meters)long, 13 feet (3.96 meters) wide and 13 feet (3.96 meters) tall. It can accommodate up to 800 pounds (363 kg).
Another popular style of inflatable jumpers are the palaces and castles. Some palaces and/or castles feature popular cartoon characters such as Dora the Explorer, Diego and the Disney Princesses. This style of bounce house offers the largest free bouncing area. They measure approximately 15 feet (4.6 meters) long, 15 feet (4.6 meters) wide and 14 feet (4.27 meters) tall. The palace can accommodate 1000 pounds (453.6 kg) of body weight.
Sports arenas offer more than just bouncing. They offer a basketball hoop and/or an area to play football and soccer. This bounce house measures 15 feet (4.6 meters) long, 15 feet (4.6 meters) wide and 13.5 feet (4.1 meters) tall. It can accommodate 1000 pounds (453.6 kg) worth of people.
Toddler houses are inflatable jumpers that are meant specifically for small children. These bounce houses prevent small kids from becoming trampled when trying to bounce. They are recommended for children under three years of age, or older if the children are lightweight. It can accommodate five or six average size toddlers, with a maximum weight of 250 pounds (113.4 kg).
Most inflatable jumpers are composed of a PVC tarpaulin material. This material is water proof and fire retardant, making it perfect for all weather conditions. PVC tarpaulin is also anti-bacterial, stain and static, and mildew resistant. It can withstand extreme high and low temperatures for a limited period of time.
When planning on using a bounce house, other than the combo slider, you will need to set aside an area that is a minimum of 18 square feet (5.5 square meters). Inflatable jumpers require three feet (0.91 meters) of safety clearance on each side. Avoid using inflatable jumpers in the rain, as they become slippery and dangerous. Bounce houses can be set up indoors, as well as outdoors. Due to the use of protective tarps, they can also be set up on pavement.
Kick It up a Notch with Trampoline TricksHaving a trampoline and not know how to do trampoline tricks may mean some families are not getting the most out of their purchase. Taking time to learn them will kick it up a notch the next time the family gathers together around the trampoline. There are several easy to learn tricks that once they are learned and people are comfortable with them they can begin learning more challenging tricks. Everyone can learn these tricks because when it is time to kick things up a notch the adults enjoy learning and showing off what they have learned just as much as the rest of the family does.
Learning the straight jump may sound a little silly however to remain as safe as possible it is important to learn the right way to do every trick. This trick of course is the easiest trick that even the little ones will know how to do almost immediately. Bounce up and down on the water trampoline some may just drop and stop but it is good to learn how to bounce up and down and then bounce off of the trampoline. For younger jumpers they should be taught how to land on their back. As they jump up and come down they will want to keep their heads up as their back connects with the trampoline. Another important jump to learn so that other tricks can be done is the tuck jump. Bring your legs and arms to the chest as you go up on the air and as you coming down straighten legs and arms in the opposite direction. The pike jump may be a jump that mom and dad want to learn because it can help strengthen the abdominal muscles. You will move your arms and legs to chest height as you jump, keep legs straight out from the body and arms behind the knees. The last jump most people may want to learn is the straddle jump where you spread your legs wide apart and continue like the pike jump.
Learning trampoline tricks is great a great activity for families to learn together and individuals to practice during their free time. The next tricks that family members may want to learn are the different types of drops but the seat drop is the easiest one to learn. This drop does require a little more coordination and it starts with straight jumping and then when you come down you will want to straighten legs so that you land directly on your bottom. This drop may be a part of other tricks that the family may choose to learn.
Having fun on the family trampoline can be done when everyone knows a trick or two. Learning together also gives families more time together and activity time together which may be valuable than movie time or no time together. Taking time to learn together is important so make sure that everyone learns all about the safety of the trampoline and the trampoline tricks they will be participating in so everyone can kick it up a notch.
