Buoyancy bags

[alan williams]

Hi
Does anyone have any buoyancy bags of the following sizes,. Bow bag 125 L(or bigger ),Side bags X 2 125L and a Stern Bag 125L(or bigger). I've decided to take the tanks out of the FF having found rot in the bow tank. Unfortunately water has gotten behind the lamination between the glass hull and the wooden bulkhead.
Cheers Al

Hi Ed
There the size recommended by Crewsaver for an FF. They would be in addition to the buoyancy bags I already have.

Hi
After speaking to Alan Bax he recommended the following sized buoyancy bags 4 X 36" by 12" 65L each, 1 X Extra Large Bow Bag 195L or there about. If you have any suitable bags please contact me.

Hi Alan,

I have a spare xl bow bag, though it does deflate over a period of weeks, and it has the narrow tube opening, which makes blowing it up a little slow!

Hi Rupert
Thanks
How much do I owe you? PPM me. Can you pump it up with a lilo inflator? There is a place in Loswithiel that apparently can reweld buoyancy bags and fit new valves.
