Buoyancy Bags for WoDo Ducks

Builder's Forum

Wood Duck 12 is nearly complete.   Are buoyancy bags recommended or necessary?  Also, we have a two place Wood Duck.   How about buoyancy bags for that larger Wood Duck?

I have them in my WD12. Haven't needed them yet but they are always a good idea.

I wedge two Holt Allen Opti flotation bags under the center thwart of my EP when I go out on bigger/rougher water.

   I also have an inflatable bag in the front of my Wood Duck-12, that I haven't needed. But if needed at least it would keep some water out of that large space.

I use a 20 L dry sack in the front of my WD12. It provides dry storage and buoyancy. So far nothing significant has made it past the spray skirt.

Stay dry,

   Thanks to all for the advice.   Better safe is the key.
