Re: sunfish floatation
开云体育Putting foam inside the mast/spars displaces water on a capsize? not air and could creaet a? “‘floating mast/spars”.? It is worth a try for those afraid they might turtle.? I have never turtled in any of my boats, but I do know that my Force 5 mast with untapeed seams filled with water and took all my 168 poinds to get it upright.? I had to stand on the tip of the CB and it took some time to lift that mast out of the water.? On the other had, ?the sunfish has the relatively short mast and is much easier.? It is still interesting to see if the mast can be made to float without Clorox bottles or foam noodles tied to the top.? ? Mr Mike ? Sent from for Windows 10 ? From: Mike Goldstein

I don't believe adding foam of any kind inside the spars helps, and probably hurts, floatation, as you are displacing air with... less air and? weight. unless your spars leak very badly.... adding noodles or floats to the outside of the spars do add floatation, since none is subtracted. ? ? |
