The weight of the boat displaces the same weight of water, and while there is still sides of the boat above the surface, the boat will float. If such an open boat is swamped, the gunnels may sink to sea level, and may even sink beneath. Usually, water-tight compartments, light, floating material, and any wood in the boat's construction, will help prevent the boat sinking entirely, if at all.

How doboats float without sinking?
Boats float due to a concept called buoyancy. When a boat displaces water equal to its weight, the force of buoyancy pushes upward on the boat, counteracting the force of gravity pulling it down. This allows the boat to stay afloat on the water rather than sinking.

A boat can float because it is made of materials that are less dense than water. This means that the boat weighs less than the amount of water it pushes aside, allowing it to stay on top of the water instead of sinking.
Slate sink boat float?
Most slate sinks because it's dense and non-porous, making it heavier than water. A boat's ability to float is due to its design displacing enough water to support its weight. The combination of slate sinking and a boat floating is a result of their differing densities and buoyancy principles.
How does the submarine control its floating and sinking?
