Boats that size can sink incredibly fast. They may have had 5 minutes to figure out what was going on, try and fail to stop it, grab a few things and deploy a life boat. It’s possible one or both of them were asleep. It may have been the middle of the night. There could have been a storm. E.g. The situation may have been very disorienting.
I would guess whatever happened, they ended up bobbing around in a life raft for days with little or no food/water. As a pale redhead I know I would personally die after a couple days of sun exposure alone.
