Dag attached this Very Clever Anti-Turtling Device to the top of his mast to keep his sailboat from "turtling" when capsized. If you have a sail rig for your kayak you can do the same by tying a couple of sealed milk jugs to the top of the mast for floatation. It really is easier to upright a boat with mast, sail and daggar-board from a sideways position rather than upside-down!
