I just launched a new Catalina 16.5 and am wondering if that mast floats or if anyone has experience attaching streamlined flotation? I often sail alone (with a tiller tender) in gusty changing winds and want to avoid going turtle.

Absolutely a great idea.
We played around with all sorts of ideas but the only one that truly worked was a Hobie Bob.

as a prior dealer, I sold many Hobie bobs at cost for the specific reason @Rick Webb stated. This included the Catalina 16-5. I would also have a line around the base of the mast used as a righting line
