3.5 Air Tank
The RS Feva is equipped with a sealed buoyancy compartment, in case of capsize
or swamping. The buoyancy compartment is formed by the hull and deck mouldings
and consequently the following points should be noted:
Occasionally, a small amount of water will get into the buoyancy compartment, and
this can be removed through the drain hole in the transom. Always remember to
check that there is no water in the hull and that the bung is secure in the drain hole
before launching.
! Do not puncture the buoyancy compartment.
! Should the buoyancy compartment become punctured, do not use the
boat until the compartment is properly repaired. If in any doubt, contact
RS Racing for repair details.
! It is against class rules to add any fittings, although you may have to
replace fittings from time to time. Ensure that all fastenings are resealed
properly using an appropriate sealant. If in any doubt, contact RS
Racing for details.
