Default Analyze the accident

Next, once a boat turns upside down, is there any way to right them?
Once righted, would a motor start (assume a 2 cycle).
I'd like to know how the boat was anchored, was it from the stern,
classical mistake resulting in this.
Going offshore with no EPIRB used to be acceptable but today?


Without watching the vid, or knowing all the facts, I'd guess it was
the skippers fault. The person should have known better.
