Gommonautica rigid inflatable boats are produced in a modern factory not
far from the sea in which technology and craftsmanship meet quality and
innovation.
All models are rigorously built in accordance with the best Italian
ship-building tradition by a team
of technicians with a long
professional expertise in pneumatic components as well as in resins
and fibreglass.
Our models, all of which made in the same factory, are the result of
accurate and deep study
in engineering and industrial design.
Gommonautica is a leading trademark. Indeed we use the best materials and
pay the most scrupulous attention to the quality
of our models which
are of a superior standard.
The rubber material, the fibre-glass
hull, the rolled-in mats
and the first-choice resins as well as the
fixed joints are meticulously put together.
The overall masterwork is not only aimed at security and reliability, but
at an appealing design, high-quality fabrics and rich equipment.
Gommonautica models are for real sea-lovers who can make
the most of a
sea-fare and enjoy it to the full every time they wish.

The cutting and the assemblage | |
How are Gommonautica models produced?
They are notably composed of two distinguished sections: the tube,
that is the pneumatic part
and the hull, nam
ely the still part made of plastic reinforced by incorporated
fibreglass.
Unlike the most common rubber rafts, our boats represent the utmost
comfort and security in navigation. They are half-way between the most
efficient rubber rafts and the most solid boats.
The rubber rough material is initially set down onto long tables
and
cut,
into patches which will subsequently constitute the upper side of
the boat; these patches are eventually stuck together, as
emery is added to the joints.
The patches get stuck through cool vulcanization.
This procedure is very important indeed as it guarantees a perfect
stability to the boat.
Joint parts are firstly laid one upon the other
and then reinforced
with specific straps, both
internal and external.
Gommonautica rigid inflatable boats are unique worldwide as they have
triple-stick features upon the joints; needless to say, this confers
to the boat reliability, total safety and security.
 Sticking up the patches

Still in the process of sticking the patches one upon the other, some
insulating diaphragms are inserted inside the tube to separate the inner
sections; there can be three, four, five or more inner sections depending
on the dimension of the boat.
Aproper
inflator is set onto every watertight compartment.
A half-sphere made of solid incorporated fibreglass - indeed a
feature that is peculiar to Gommonautica Ltd - is devised as an after-peak
terminal.
When the upper side of the boat is completed, the tube needs a 48-hour
seasoning process before being inflated.
After the rest, the external straps are added, together with such fittings
as handles,
wash-boards, double
fender and so forth before assembling it to the incorporated fibreglass
hull.
The external longitudinal butt straps are extra-size so as to
guarantee the best airtight in any environmental condition. This can be
seen on Gommonautica models only. As for the afore-mentioned straps, they
equally undergo a cool vulcanising process.
The hull takes its shape from specific moulds made of plastic reinforced
by incorporated fibreglass.
After a strapping-wax application, some
Gelcoat is sprayed in order to give colour and make the new hull utterly
waterproof.
After some further six hours the hull gets dry and thick. It is then
that we proceed to tear the thickest parts of the moulds off.
The
definitive compact
shape represents the overall, load-bearing section of the rigid
inflatable boat.

The assemblage and the finishing touch | |
The hull is checked out and finished
off, and is now ready to be assembled.
Both the tube and the hull get stuck together so as to constitute the boat
as we know it.
The boat undergoes a double sticking-up process to make sure that
the upper and the lower
sections cannot be separated, thus making it a safety and reliable
product in any condition.
Now the two sections are put together.
The boat is eventually ready for the packing and delivering.
Gommonautica boats are completely
furnished to offer exceptional on-water performance and comfort.
The procedures are carefully
and scrupulously carried out by a team of
highly-exerienced technicians; this fact is guarantee of extremely
high-quality standards of production.
The materials are previously selected according to the highest standards
of reliability and are ratified in pliance to the most rigorous
norms.
All Gommonautica products are integrated owing to a perfect synergy
between research and production.
