I keep 2 large truck inner tubes inflated in the M17: one under the v-berth with the hole aligning with the forward access hatch, and the other under the cockpit, shoved as far aft as possible. The rear one has a valve installed on the outside of the doughnut so as to make inflation easier. I don't know if they'd keep a fully-swamped M17 afloat, but at least it would help in a knockdown situation ... every little bit helps. When I need the extra room, I deflate one tube or the other and make sure my insurance is paid up :) -Peter- =============================== Peter Jacobs M17 "Enfin" Victoria BC Canada
