Hi Leon,
Thanks for the report. As it turns out, the text is correct as-is; "founder"
in this context is a synonym (now somewhat old-fashioned) for "sink". It's
confusing how similar it is to "flounder"; just more severe, really.
If you come across any more dubious bits of text, please do report them to
us.
