In Response To: Other: What volume for airbags (jeff mcgee)

If your bulk heads and hatches are sound you have "x" amount of displacement.

If any fail, why not have the space filled with displacement bags/bladders/jugs or ???? and have the about same amount of floatation and safety?

You can make or buy tapered floats or sto-floats that double as dry bags and fit the kayak shape well.
