Is yyhe mast head float idea workable at all, rather than relying on only the mast buoyancy to keep an hp at 90degrees?

​A couple were pushed pretty hard
and capsized, but they were mostly (entirely?) the Mk
1's which were lighter and raced.  I doubt the board
deployment would have made much difference..  Once you flew
a hull, you were on the edge.  The mast head floats
were/are horrible.  A lot of weight in the worst place and
when the boat did capsize, the righting had to be quick or
something would break.  Commanche was aimed at the cruising
crowd, was quite a breakthrough at the time. ​
If
Im right a few Iroquois went over
I
forget the exact reasons why but it was something to do with
which drop keel was deployed
Its also
possible the factory or designer (Sailcraft /
McAlpine-Downey) were the ones that organised mast head
floats still seen in some photos

their later adventure the
Comanche 32 was a far nicer boat
IMO
