I'm not surprised that sailboat didn't capsize. It's not a really big boat and with only one sail up its keel weigh probably saved it. What surprised me it is with all that surf it wasn't swamped.
it would have taken on a crap load of water. But monohull sailboats will always right themselves, even if they get totally rolled upside down (unless the keel gets knocked off by some unfortunate event).
@@PhilbyFavourites they lost their keel... because anything is possible with shoddy maintenance. But as long as the keel stays attached, a mono won't stay upside down
sailboats have thousands, many thousands of pounds hanging under them in the keel, which is normally filled with lead. Like the Tub-Thumpers, they can get knocked down, but they get up again. Always.

Yeah. Most sailboats need to be practically upside down to stay over.

Blue water deep draft heavy full keel sailboat that’s how. That and a skilled captain.
@@timstone3441 I wonder why a skilled Captain would be there.
If i was an alligator and was relaxing in the button of the river and got a boat motor on my head i would be mad as hell
Charles Berthoud? Danny Sapko will not be happy. BEHS. 😁🎸
they did swim. just in the boat
The sail boat is built on the arks' scale
heavy keel. they dont flip usually, not from light surf like that. its not fun though.
Keel weight
