Basically, the rule of thumb is: Single piece hull = floats; multi piece hull = doesn't float.

[@LutraLovegood]

Multiple pieces can float if there isn't too much weight on it, have a keel, etc

[@guilhermecaiado5384]

Actually, most sets floated, but some topple. Its just a matter of center of gravity.

[@kayan5754]

I built a Lego ship from different Lego sets but it sank

[@thespacedingoking]

@@guilhermecaiado5384 Yeah its just a physics game. More stable bases (wider, squarer ones) with low centres of gravity, even if they're brick built will have a MUCH better chance than higher cogs, with much narrower, less stable bases. THEN you have to take into account densities as to whether it hovers completely above, or is steadily floating just below the surface. ie the flamingo floaty thingy

[@framen8265]

I think the main reason why sailing ships sank so quickly is because of their flat bottom(no keel) which should be sharp and long instead. The other reason could be that masts are too heavy

[@hansandhispanzerfaust6236]

The singular plated boats don’t sink because they are sealed, the sailing ones sank because they weren’t sealed and were way too top heavy.

[@j.m.8500]

7:06 That would make a really good sinking ship roleplay.

[@FireStar-gz2ry]

The reason some of those (such as the pirate boats) didn't float, is because they don't have any ballasts in the bottom of them. These ballasts weight them down enough to keep from capsizing

[@keenanchandler4919]

[@wavydre8547]

9:03 I like how it looks like the sinking catches the sharks attention and he moves in for free food.

[@bobogus7559]

One thing that might have helped on the pirate ships is a keel (basically, a vertical strip underneath the hull running from bow to stern that stabilizes it in the water).

[@AKKK1182]

I don't think the main problem was "water leaking in the seams". All of the full hull ships had their decks much higher and their hulls fairly well spread out to keep them balanced. All of the brick hull ships were probably much heavier compared to their size (displaced water amount) and as such sank lower, which let water aboard. Second their hulls seemed to be narrower mostly and with the high centre of mass that just turned them over. For the party boat it seemed that the back deck went under the surface and as more water got aboard it sank. My guess is that if a brick hull was as high and wide as the full hull ships, it would float just fine, but sit a bit deeper than a full hull. As long as you don't push the centre of mass too high of course. Maybe in time the seams would let water in, but depending on whether or not there's free space for the water to fill in the hull, it might not matter.

[@tomnewham1269]

The older boats from the 80's had a keel on them to stop them toppling over. I got one and I don't ever remember it sinking unless I used it without the keel.

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

Yeah Lego floats so water getting in shouldnt really matter. The ones that tipped all looked to do so because they were narrow or centre of mass too high

[@Woodland_Adventures]

Before I get to the testing, I'm going to go ahead and geuss most of the the city set lego boats will float. They've got hard full shell bottoms. So the problem with the bigger boats that tipped, is they don't have a keel.

[@search6684]

this right here, aint no sail boat without a keel staying up

[@cozmocandy1688]

This video was so much fun!

[@kieranfitzgerald2030]

even if they were relatively watertight some of those ships/boats need a keel to successfully float without rolling over. Was a very entertaining video no matter the outcome.

[@gpc3759]

Interesting video on vessel’s stability (i.e. remaining upright in a stable way) more than floating (no boat sank to the bottom; most Lego bricks density is less than water), which reminds me how Lego addressed this problem back in the 80s/90s. Without venturing into the physics of the center of gravity, the center of buoyancy, the position of the metacenter, restoring and overturning couples, etc… Lego boats from the 80s/90s used heavy bricks underneath (early 80s) or inside the hull (late 80s, early 90s) to significantly lowered the center of gravity and ensure the vessel’s stability. Interestingly enough this technique could be use again today to ensure the stability of most of the boats considered in this video (if not all).
