I've never figured out why yachts don't HAVE airbags that deploy
automatically and fill the cabin from the gas canisters when the switch on
the inside of the cabin overhead touches seawater.....making them
unsinkable!

It's already been done. Problem: sailors are cheapskates and would
rather take the risk of sinking than pay for the system.
Do a google search for "Yachtsaver"... went bankrupt last year IIRC.
There are also a number of yachts built with positive flotation, ETAP &
Sadler notably. IMHO it would not be unreasonable to install positive
flotation on many small to medium size sailboats. It'd be some work, and
cost something, so maybe that's why nobody actually does it.
