Hi every body,
First, a very big thank you Matt for making this available!
I completed my Ultralite packraft and also assemble a sub-2kg kit with all that is needed to go (including an inflatable vest). I’m planing on doing Run-raft an Para-raft (paragliding) with it! Very exited about the new possibilities of this kit!

A few contribution: I added a hole in my wooden form to help assembling the valve and I also used spray adhesive to fix the masking tape on it rather than using more tape…it it nicer and you can use all of the surface (I also trided double face tape and it doesn’t work..the heat melts it and your left with a long cleaning job!).

I installed a second valve on my inflation bag instead of the tube provided so I can screw it to the packraft when inflating it. A little modification on the valve allow it to be used reverse…. I also put a roll-top closure on it and it can be used as a dry bag. Lastly, I added a square bottom so it is easier to capture air…(just too more seames in the bottom after bag is done.)

Cheers from Quebec!
Christian
