Guest Beluga Report post Posted March 2 Ahoy All, I am new to sailing the J22. Our yacht club has six older examples and the one I have signed on for a seasonal charter needs its Air tanks repaired? I have been unable to find any photos or drawings of the tanks. Are they just basically plywood chambers sealed to provide positive buoyancy in case of a knock down? Do some boats actually have real fitted air bags set to a certain pressure? Any feedback would be great. can’t wait for the season to begin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TyeDyedGary 0 Report post Posted March 4 I am not sure what you are calling Air Tanks. There is a void under the floor of the cockpit, with access ports in the lazaret and the front inside the cabin. Also a small void in the bow with and access port. Nether of these should be considered air tight. I guess if you want to put some sort of air bladders inside your boat, that is up to you to carry the extra weight. I have been knocked down once or twice in 30+ winds and just letting the sails run, the boat righted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
