Obviously not "flipped" - the table was set and there was food out.
If the boat had heeled even 20 degrees it would be a mess.

Like the last big mono I sailed on, but they were smart enough not to put
food out. g

You don't think the wind died and they got in the dingy to take
pictures of the boat with her sails up? Wind comes up, boat goes
away.

Its hard to imagine anyone being that stupid. These were grown men,
not drunk college kids.

The fenders down and the engine running (presumably at idle, if it had
be running for several days) makes me wonder if there was some sort of
outside intervention. Drug rendezvous? Pirates? Mermaids?

The table was laid for dinner...if she had stood on her side the dishes
would have been scattered or tossed around the cabin. Very strange...

Strange indeed. Aliens, Pirates, near miss with a ship and the crew
panicked.
With the sail blown out she took a hard hit. With a gimbled stove and
those rubber place mats things could look normal in the galley.

I agree, but you know how USGC people can be wrong, and embellish
things.
