What? I'm trying to think of the last time I had a lot of people on board.  
I believe I had six French Maidens along with myself and my neighbor 
Michael.  That adds up to approximately eleven or twelve hundred pounds. Water 
weighs  roughly 8 pounds to a gallon so.....we know there was more than 140 
gallons  worth of frozen material on the boat. I can't imagine that the R22 
could hold  enough water, frozen or otherwise, to sink. If it did, I imagine it 
popped  back once the ice melted. That sure would have been something to  
see. We have had several wet snow events this winter, but I've never had any  
concern. Guess I will have to pay more attention to detail.

believe  it - I think 6 went down and at least one was a Rhodes

the weight of  the ice was more than the floatation could handle.
