Whoa..... Duuuuude.
Those big cats are definitely toast after a capsize like that.
I remember capsizing a lightning at summer camp... we were running before a ginormous thunderstorm, and were caught by a gust of wind. The whole boat with all four of us just flipped... I recall flying through the air... felt like I was 20 feet up. One boy was trapped under the sail, but we got him out.
Yeah, you've always got to be ready to let go the main sheet when you're in weather like that.
