[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=makinmajik]Here's a thought. If you can make a PFD that inflates automatically when the person goes in the water, why not make a masthead float that works the same way. It would be pricey, but it beats having the mast go under. I would think it would not be too bulky and cumbersome.[/quote]
