RUK Canoe Buoyancy Flotation Airbag - 105cm
Constructed from fabric which provides excellent abrasion resistance.
The bag dimensions are 105 x 79 x 32 cm. with Brass Eyelets to provide a means of securing them to the boat and a tough plastic inflation tube with a Screw Valve and is designed to fit in the front or stearn of canadian canoes
Airbags reduce the amount of waterlogging in a capsize and prevent the empty space from being swamped and enables safer passage on open or white water when in a canadian canoe which should not be attempted without
A canoe full of water can weigh upwards of 1000kg!! and most are neutrally buoyant making deep water self rescue very difficult
With airbags fitted a capsised boat will hold less water and make handling and emptying easier and reduce damage
Canoe airbags are not an accessory they are a necessity and are required on all moving water and desired for crossing open water especially when not in a party
If the bag is too large it does not matter just inflate until the space is taken up and then secure
When storing it is best to deflate slightly and allow to dry if possible
