AMEN.
A recent example of this truism is to look at the P16 that is drifting 30 miles of the east coast, elsewhere in these forums. It is floating with the bows pointed straight up with the mast is lying on the surface, obviously well sealed. If the mast were not sealed, it would be pointed down. It does not need a Bob or other jury-rigged Playskool object to float.
