What should you do if your boat turns over or gets swamped?
There is lots of missing info here. Where are you? what's the depth of water? What is the temperature of the water? What is the sea state? Lots of variables to this question, however there are a few things I automatically think of. Don't panic, try to keep calm, a proper mindset can save you even when odds are NOT in your favor. If the boat capsizes or gets swamped try and stay with the boat as long as possible. Even if that means just holding on to whats left. The boat is a larger target, making you easier to find you by Search and Rescue (SAR) assets. Even if you are wearing a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) if you can get out of the water, then try. Getting out of the water even if the air temp is freezing is better than staying in the water (Think of Jack and Rose, who lived, who dies.) Without more detail this is a good start.
How does a boat float without sinking?
The weight of the boat displaces the same weight of water, and while there is still sides of the boat above the surface, the boat will float. If such an open boat is swamped, the gunnels may sink to sea level, and may even sink beneath. Usually, water-tight compartments, light, floating material, and any wood in the boat's construction, will help prevent the boat sinking entirely, if at all.
What do you call a life boat?
