From this article, it doesn't really appear that she is breaking up or in any real danger of sinking. Wasn't dismasted either... just taking on water. I am wondering how badly she was taking on water, and whether abandoning her was really necessary.
Of course, the people who abandoned her were a professional delivery crew, and it wasn't their boat, and they had little reason not to abandon her... but still...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
