Stay calm. The calmness of the skipper will help everyone.
Have everyone put on their life jackets.
Close all doors and openings on the boat. This will help reduce the amount of water that could be taken on board.
Have everyone dress as warmly as possible. It is harder to work when wet and cold.
If you are in fear of your life or loosing the boat send out a mayday on the radio.
Remember if the weather is too rough you may be safer not heading for shore. Strong winds and waves could push you into rocks.
If it looks as if the boat will sink have everyone on deck. You wouldn't want someone to be trapped below decks when the boat sinks.

What should you do if you are caught in a storm in a boat?
Reduce speed and head into the waves at a 45-degree angle.Panic and call for help. If you have a radio, it's even better.
You are caught in a storm in your boat engine stops what should you do?
Deploy a storm anchor (sea anchor) from the bow; something that will slow the boat's drift downwind. Something like a small drogue parachute in the water. The wind will cause the boat to drift, and the waves to rise; the storm anchor will slow down the drift, and keep the boat pointed into the wind. Bow-on is the safest direction for your boat to meet the waves. Otherwise, the wind would tend to push the boat sideways, and you could easily capsize.
What should you do if you are caught in storm in a boat?
Furl your sails, lower the mast, keep low (you will be the highest point, otherwise, and be at risk for a lightning strike), secure any loose gear, turn into the waves, and secure your flotation device. If the boat capsizes, stay with the boat.
What should you do if caught in a severe storm in your boat?
If caught in a severe storm while on your boat, immediately seek safe harbor if possible. If returning to shore is not an option, secure all gear and ensure passengers are wearing life jackets. Head into the waves at a 45-degree angle to minimize swamping and maintain control of the vessel. Stay calm, monitor weather updates, and be prepared to follow emergency procedures.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOUR BOAT GETS CAUGHT IN A SEVERE STORM?
If your boat gets caught in a severe storm, first secure all loose items and ensure that everyone onboard is wearing a life jacket. Reduce speed and head the bow into the waves to minimize the impact, while keeping the boat's hull as stable as possible. If conditions worsen, consider finding shelter or a safe harbor if it's within reach. Always stay calm and maintain communication with emergency services if necessary.
