They get it going again towards the end of the video and it looks like
they are making at least 20 kts through big waves.


Has that thing not got a keel? Through parts of that video you could see
the sails filling from the low side but still she wouldn't come
up-right.

Could be a swing-keel, out to the "wrong" side, and held there by the
hydraulics. So easy to forget when you go onto a run!
