Abstract: A bailing device is used with a watercraft having a hull adapted to sit in a body of water and having a deck normally above a waterline defined by the body of water and formed centrally with a cockpit. The bailing device has a pair of inflatable flexible enclosures of a volume sufficient when the enclosures are inflated to support the watercraft out of the water. The enclosures are attached to the deck above the waterline to either side of the cockpit and a tube interconnects the enclosures so that air can pass through the tube between them. The enclosures can be inflated with air while they are attached to the deck. When thus inflated with the craft in the water the watercraft can be inverted and supported on the inflated enclosures to drain water from the cockpit.
