SV Phoenix
Raiatea
Located near 3 waterfall bay
We put tractor air chambers inside, we patch any holes it may have, and eventually we paint them with
special paint.

7-2021 SV Domini Esteban is fantastic. He managed to save our dinghy which, after going over a metal
spike at night, had a massive hole ripped out of two of the three chambers. It really seemed beyond
repair, but with a few tractor tyre inner tubes he managed to somehow make it as good as new. He can
also repair and service outboards.
He’s charges fairly, does a great job and speaks Spanish, English and French fluently.
And on top of all that - he’s a really nice bloke.
I can absolutely recommend him to any cruiser with dinghy problems.
