Maybe if we weren't so set on making the damned boats so light and thin and cheap-as-possible with some old iron in the keel so it COULDN'T stay upside down for more than an instance...these guys and hundreds to thousands like them over the years would still be alive.

Stick a big old keel on the bottom, pour in enough lead, maintain a low superstructure- and joila, you've got a self-righting boat.
