He salvaged the boat by a combination of inflating inner tubes inside the flooded cabin and pumping, after fitting a plywood and rubber patch to the hole. The boat was towed home and hoisted out of the water. The Pentas were stripped and found to be fine. The boat gave him years of service afterwards.
