The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. On planet X you would weigh less but the water you're displacing also would weigh less. In other words, on planet X you would displace the same amount of water and you would have the same difficulty floating.

WHAT planet, other than earth. I think I get what you're TRYING to say, and I would say you'd float the same as would on Earth, in ratio to your weight. Since there's less gravity on whatever planet, you'd weigh less, but water has its own surface tension and displacement value, so say, you take two different weighted objects and float them on earth. Say the lighter object floats 2mm higher than the heavy object. It'll do the same thing on the other planet in ratio.

each deliver has an prolonged pole that reaches to the backside. This long pole has a wheel on the top. The pole runs alongside the backside of the sea with the different end related to the backside of the deliver, consequently protecting it up above water. If the pole ever breaks, like in hitting an iceberg or a extensive whale, then the deliver will sink. additionally, the deliver has cubicles that are heated with warm air. This provides to the lightness of the deliver, as this is on the verge of floating in air, fairly on very great ships. and that's a great style of warm air!
