I have a lot of new mat ideas, lots of notes and prototypes, I even make small scale mats to test new ideas..
With this new Invisible Mat Ive designed it so its thinner at the nose and fatter at the tail, in tune with that are angled side I-beams so that at the mat gets thicker the rails get fatter. It's also a Tube Mat Design where the deck and hull are one piece joined on the deck instead of having a complete join all the way around like on conventional mats.
Here it is with the nose sealed in a regular outline with curved corners.
Its kinda hard to see what's going on with all the clear vinyl so here's a pic showing the 2 side I beams on each side and the two short nose beams.
Ive got to finish a few internal tricks and then install the inflation valve and put a loop at the nose for a legrope.
The mats covered in notations and measurements so I can replicate or alter the design as I wish.
It can seem like there's a lot of science but it's all in the name of fun !
