I used it to stuff the top third of my mast (above the headstay/shroud
attachement points) with the hope that having flotation in the top of the mast
would discourage the boat from turning turtle in the event of a capsize.
I like the "Pool Noodle" idea, but how will you secure them? Maybe they don't
need to be secured?

I may put some of the flotation noodles around the cockpit rails for padding
too. You can get them with a hole down the middle. I could cut the tubes
open, slip them over the rails, tape them on and then cover them with simple
sunbrella covers (just a long tube of cloth with a velcro closure) to prevent
deterioration from UV.
