Looks like they got caught in that big storm.

The article referenced above had the following comment"
"Double-hulled catamaran sailboats are fast and lightweight -- and harder to
capsize than some single-hull sloops. "
What they should have added is that single hull boats have one stable state,
right side
up. Even when they capsize, the heavy keel will bring it back upright. A
catamaran,
on the other hand, is stable in two configurations, upright and upside down.
Once
they flip, they almost never right themselves.
