[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]

I remember a system like that being advertised in the old Hobie Hotline magazine, can't find that right now but here is a patent from 1993 with the same method.
