Zodiac Bombard

Take a look at an inflatable boat. You see fabric, a wooden transom, the fittings... but you forget the air contained in the inflatable keel or in the buoyancy tubes which gives the boat its shape. Looked at this way, it is hardly surprising that a Zodiac fully inflated can be up to 3 times lighter than a comparable traditional boat making launching or pulling onto the beach so much easier.
