I would think by the time it deployed it would already be stuck in the mud, but maybe. The hobie mast head is designed to minimize windage. Plus i have always thought they were cool!
I have NEVER seen a masthead float on a cruiser.
Others might think you to be an extreme racer! Lol!

>>> retrieval had a few setbacks... After a delay (caused by transmission
>>> trouble on the towing vehicle), we found ourselves pulling up our R22 in
>>> the dark, under the single sodium light of Okeover Marina. We overcame
>>> severe sidewinds and currents to get the Beagle III happily back onto her
>>> trailer. I pulled her out of the water triumphantly to make ready to step
>>> the mast for her 10 hour drive home, and then pulled her right into the
>>> many branches of an interposing tree.
>>>
>>> The mast and upper rigging were well entrenched in the branches- the
>>> trailer was on a slope that listed her to starboard, so the port upper
>>> shroud was so taut that it managed to carve a notch out of a branch and
>>> stick there. Backing her didn't do the trick- there were more branches to
>>> encounter in that direction. We had a half-size maglite and a collapsible
> 9
>>> foot boathook, which came in handy for investigating and clearing the
>>> initial blockage (add those to your kit!)... After some tired and
> worn-out
>>> thinking, I came to the realization that I'd have to step the mast and
> pull
>>> the rig forward a foot at a time, and so to slip her out of the tree.
> Good
>>> thing we had the winch and mast cradle... This is what worked.
>>>
>>> So, after we got out of there, the only damage was, the housing for the
>>> anchor light, a sharp bend on the antenna, and our wind indicator which I
>>> would describe as "crumpled up, also smashed". I was pretty sure that the
>>> port upper shroud would fail and dump the mast over the side, but
>>> thankfully, this did not happen. Good engineering there.
>>>
>>> So, questions:
>>>
>>> --Can I order a new housing for the anchor light, or should I replace the
>>> whole thing?
>>> --There's a big patch of pitch on my jib after I dragged it through some
>>> trees- any cleaning advice?
>>>
>>> Thanks!
