How was the yacht converted from a Hinckley 43' sloop to a schooner so quickly?

A couple of quotes that are gems -
"The waves were huge. If you could have called a cab, you would have. The sea is so big and the boat is so small. We were on 20 degrees of keel. "
"To make matters worse, the storm had jarred the protective dodger above the hatch, allowing water to cascade through the companionway and into the cabin below, where the crew was hunkering down, lost in their seasickness. "
