Mud berth support for boat keel - has inflatable bags slung each side of keel

摘要

The support has two inflatable airbags (1,2) strapped to straddle the keel and linked to the boat by airlines. The bags have pointed ends with securing eyes (5) for the ropes which clamp the bags to the keel, while the inflated height is such that they prevent the hull from tipping over when the tide recedes. The airbags are simple to attach to the hull when deflated and do not require any underwater adjustment. Two of the ends are linked by a cross line, while the other ends are pulled together against the keel by the mounting lines (7). The two airbags can also be lashed together to form a liferaft.
