Check out this stowable spray deck that Dom Adcock added to his V3 DIY Packraft! I’ve posted more detailed pictures of the construction process on a dedicated page here. (Photos by Dom, used with permission.) Excellent work, Dom!

I made one of these with raft and heavy canvas tarps and Stitch them together 33 years ago. I’m amazed how far and how tuff technology has mad lightweight material. I’ll be building one of these in the near future.

Looks great! What kind of zippers did Dom use?

Just YKK water resistant zips. The sort you’d find on a good waterproof jacket. I purchased from a good outdoor fabric & fittings supplier in the UK. I bought 3 metres and 3 zippers, then cut to size. I stiched over the end at front under small fixed deck but you need to attach small metal staples at the other end near the seat(when the deck is closed) because just melting the ends is not enought. Otherwise you are likely to make the same mistake as me and pull the zip right off!! I manage to get it back on…
