It's an unsinkable sailboat. Fiberglass over styrofoam like a surfboard. You wouldn't raise the sails in the storm though, you lash the boom/sails/mast together and run them under the boat lengthwise as a storm anchor. The problem is there's no room on this tiny boat for me, the woman, the cat, AND the motorcycle :( While at the store last time buying water and snickers I saw a lady there fitting her kids for life jackets. That's when you know you should evacuate.
