I don't understand why they would abandon a boat that can sail even after two knockdowns. I'd jut keep sailing and anchor for Bermuda for a tow in, but then we always carried a sextant and 24 spare AA batteries for two handheld GPS's.

The boat may be capable of handling two knockdowns, but that doesn't mean the crew are. They am have been hurt, or sick, or scared, or tired, or all of the above.
