Optiparts EX1213 - Optimist Buoyancy Bag IOD’95 48L White – Polyurethane Nylon, Regular Valve
Optiparts EX1213 is a high-quality buoyancy bag designed for Optimist sailboats, built to meet IOD’95 requirements. It provides essential flotation support, helping to reduce the amount of water entering the boat after capsize and improving recovery performance.
Constructed from polyurethane-coated nylon, this buoyancy bag is significantly stronger and approximately half the weight of traditional PVC or PVC-coated alternatives. This material ensures improved durability while maintaining low weight for better overall boat performance.
The 48-liter capacity offers increased buoyancy compared to smaller bags, helping to keep the hull higher in the water after capsizing. This model is equipped with a standard PVC non-return valve for reliable inflation and air retention.
For safe operation, the bag should not be over-inflated. When properly filled, it should remain soft to the touch. Over-inflation combined with heat exposure may cause damage. Care should also be taken to avoid sharp objects inside the hull that could puncture the material.
