This might be interesting for all the sailors out there. I got a bit sidetracked while Wikipedia surfing (actually can't remember anymore where I started) and ended up at the crash test yacht Dehler 31. In 1988 a German yachting magazine tried to crash it and the yacht was surprisingly resistent. No water leaked in although they tried hard. At least in the 80ies boats were built quite robust, not sure, if this still holds. I personally doubt it, when looking at all other things nowadays. Anyways, there is also a German video on YouTube about this crash test. Very surprising to watch. For the English speaking folks, the yacht "Fizzical" built in 1982 was crash tested in 2011 by a British yachting magazine and there are also some YouTube videos on that series. Very robust, too and lots of interesting findings. Highly recommended.
@lyse not a sailor, but the yacht's resistance to crash you mentioned caught my attention, so I watched the German video. Very strong yacht! And it makes sense they are made (well, I want to believe they still are made that way) that strong, because unlike automobiles, that need to crush to save your life, yachts need to endure for the same reason.
Incidentally, amazing how one can drift through the series of tubes, from one thing to the other, and find all sorts of interesting stuff, eh?
