Andersen bailers are recognised by sailors around the world as the most efficient and reliable self-draining valves on the market.
When closed, they seal flush with the outside of the hull and keep the boat watertight, as soon as they are opened while sailing, they create a venturi effect that quickly and automatically draws the accumulated water out of the boat.
Andersen bailers are made from high quality stainless steel and are designed to give years of trouble-free service.

The origins of the Andersen bailer go back to the legendary Danish regatta sailor Paul Elvström, who won four Olympic gold medals and made a lasting impact on the sport as an innovator.

The bailers are available in various sizes for indoor or outdoor installation.
An installation template is included as well as the fixing screws and a rubber seal for the internal installation models.
