The though occurred to me that the easiest way to bail a boat during a
reentry and roll with the inverted skirt attachment method would be to blow
it out! Every cubic foot of gas blown into the cockpit will displace a cubic
foot of water. Maybe a couple of large CO2 cartridges mounted under the deck
and fired with a string would do the trick?

Would also provide comic relief if the cartridges were fired when upright
with the skirt in place?!
