Hello everybody,

today afternoon I've been installing an inspection port in my laser, because it's getting water through the mast step and I plan to make some repair work, following the instructions in other threads in this forum.

The port is already installed but I have to prove it with a nice capsize to check if it is correctly sealed.

I had never seen a laser inside and I got a big surprise: when I tried to have a look to the centreboard hole I realized I have two plastic barrels there!

Is this normal? Do all the lasers have anything similar? Which is their function?

Pedro.
 
Yes.... they're flotation bags. In case you swamp the thing completely in theory they'll keep you out of the water. Smart money says leave them in... :D
