: Tie on a good float and you'gve got a static brace machine. The
: roll up from there might be tough though.

Probably true. I've though done alot of righting of small sailboats and once the mast and sail gets in the water it raises the amount of force required to right it very considerably. Until it's wet it's easy to right, once it's wet it's a real bear to get it started.

I suppose though that a device to allow the "mast" and flag to be dropped to the deck wouldn't be all that difficult to figure out, then it wouldn't be any more difficult to right (assuming you still have enough air in your lungs ).
