Gerald said: "The main advantage is the ease of pumping out in choppy water with the sponsons attached. You can then relax after a capsize and gather your wits." What sort of pump of you using, a hand, electric, or foot? I ask this because a little practice in conditions that are likely to cause a capsize rapidly shows how hopeless hand pumping is. Have you used sponsons after an unintended capsize? How did it go?
