Why exactly is it sinking, Charlie??? Sail boats have enough weight in the keel to keep them afloat... Ya' just baton down hatches and the water sloshes off the deck... Kinda hard to sink unless it hits something and damages the hull...

BTW, riding the storms out can be no fun but if ya' brace yerself well you survive even the biggest of storms in a sailboat...
