The A-frame (see above) supports the self-righting bag, navigation lights and aerials. It also provides mounting for the oxygen therapy unit and radar reflector.In the event of a capsize in very shallow water the roll bar will give some protection to the crew, motors and console.The righting bag is stored on top of the A-frame and may be inflated using CO2 cylinders located at the base of the A-frame. If the boat should capsize a manual pull ring on the stern of the boat will empty the contents of one of the gas bottles into the airbag, which will then cause the boat to roll the right way up.
