I always thought that all you were guaranteed if you
had a self bailing boat which filled with water that
it would not sink altogether. You could th bail it
with a bucket your self :-)

Seriously, any boat whose cockpit floor is below the waterline
will have to move to be self bailing. If the cockpit is
above the waterline, open drains can let the water out,
as long as you dont get it in the cabin.
