Description
This mast float significantly reduces the risk of inversion. Its very clean and light design contains 2 inflatable tubes and is made from a single fabric. The mast float slides into the sail track and can be connected to the sail with the eyelets at the top and bottom. The single fabric ensures that hoisting the sail is a smooth operation. Total capacity is 8 liters.
Fully inflated, the mast float is 41.3 inch in length and can be folded flat to 7.1 by 10.6 inch for ease of storage.
Please note this product is meant for small dinghies only and does not guarantee 100% protection against inversion. Using it is for own responsibility. The product is inflated by mouth. Current version no longer includes metal grommets or fabric loops at the top of the bag.

RS Mast Flotation Bag
A must-have for any RS/Neo sailor who's experienced the frustrating speed at which these boats can turtle in heavy air. Effectively keeps your RS/Neo upright, even in really heavy wind/wave conditions. For optimal use: 1) Apply a small amount of yachtman's lube to the white part of the device to ensure smooth movement along the mast track. 2) Use a soldering iron to seal the leading edge of the white part, preventing fraying and making mast setup easier. 3) Rig the device deflated with the air valves positioned on the bottom and facing aft. This allows for easy inflation once the device is started up the mast. With this anti-turtle device, you can sail your RS/Neo in any conditions, knowing that you're prepared for the unexpected.
