Replacing foltation

Post by Bill Snyder »

I am replacing some of the flotation in my '67 Sailstar Corinthian,(similar to the CD Typhoon Weekender)and instead of using foam one boat repairer has suggested using polystrene pellets enclosed in a plastic bag. Does anyone have any information on whether this would provide good buoyancy? Is polystrene the correct material?
