Mostly good advice so far. In a 21' foot open bow boat, everyone should wear there PFD's as soon as you see rough water. Also in those conditions, I would have the canvas on the bow section and nobody up there.
Being on Rattlesnake and IIRC the Broads side, you may have to take on some weather, that the rest of us can just avoid. Stay safe. If the weather turns sour while you're out there, there's no shame in waiting it out. In extreme cases call for help.
