: Here are the Folbot pontoons. It has an outer cover and an inner bladder. The
: top piece that holds the pontoons to the outrigger quickly snaps into
: place with buckles. The pontoons are 37 inches long and 9 inches diameter
: in the middle. From what I have read from other who own these pontoons say
: it skims over the water rather then digging in as some do. I did find one
: guy that did say he was able to submerge his once while sailing. What you
: see in the picture was $156 including shipping which I felt was a good
: price. I will most likely buy their AKA rather then retrofitting what I
: have. It took about 30 breaths to blow it up.

Hi John,

Cool :)

Btw, if you're going to call the cross pieces aka's, which is correct, you should be calling the pontoons ama's.
