Yacht Saver..

Been around for about 15 years.. I think they are still sold..

These are inflateable bags that are installed inside the boat in spare (is
there such a thing) areas, like up under the deck..

I'm not sure how they are deployed, maybe someone who hangs out at the boat
shows can jump in here..

On most boats the hull to deck joint is not strong enough to take the
stress of the bags pushing *up* when submerged. What happens is the
bag deploys and floats to the cabin top ..... as the deck separates
from the hull, the bag escapes into the sea. Then the boat is easier
to sink! .... maybe once could catch such a bag as it erupts through
a broken deck joint ......... nah - thats called a liferaft.

Has any such similar system been tried ? What was wrong ?

If available, please point to vendor.

My point exactly, in my previous post regarding a failed attempt to float a
sunken boat with a life raft inflated insided the cabin..
