All you would have to do is change the density of the cork or the water. An easy to do this is to create air pockets in the water. This will make the water less dense and it wont be able to "sink" underneath the boat. In other words, the water/air mixture created by the bubbles, will be less dense than the boat. And everybody knows that the denser object sinks, so then the cork will sink. The cork will stay sunk as long as you are creating bubbles.
