Guest Beluga Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyeDyedGary Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
