Unfortunately the mast has minimal buoyancy as you can see if you just float it alone. Wind, choppy waters, and people hanging off the deck side of the boat easily overcome what little float you get from it. And, with it's angle to the water in a capsize you only benefit from a fraction of its total flotation at that. If it's leaky it even works against you.I was practicing capsize recovery with my son this weekend and turned turtle. Apparently my mast does not float. I was in too shallow of water but I was able to get to the centerboard before the upper pole bent.
