Secumar Anti-Capsize Cushion 40lt

An airbag for dinghys, for hoisting up the mast to reduce the risk of / prevent inversion in the event of a capsize.

The way the SECUMAR-Anti-Capsize cushion works is almost like the way an airbag works - as a small package which you hardly notice it is hoisted to the mast head and only reveals its true power and size when danger threatens.

A Catamaran is particularly in danger of ending upside down when it capsizes. A relatively small buoyancy bag in the mast head can prevent a worsening of the situation because of the large leverarm. It is easier for the crew then to right the ship.

Anti-capsize protection in the mast head

The anti-capsize cushion is activated and automatically fills with CO2 gas at the moment when the mast head tips into the water. The fully inflated cushion then stops further capsizing. The system has proved its value:

for catamarans (e.g. Prindle and Tornado)
for large dinghys (Conger, Wayfarer)
and for smacks (Marine cutters made of GRP, for both masts)

The anti-capsize cushion is available in two different load carrying capacities with the relevant CO2 cartridges (SECUMAR 20 and SECUMAR 40).
