[Rhodes22-list] The Rhodes floats.

[David Bradley]

In the case of my boat, similar to Joe's, when it went over the side rails
and mast head/spreader were buried in the mud and it held it on its side
for 12+ hours.  They had to winch it upright.  When the brought it ashore
the mast head and furled main were full of mud.
