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.

What big waves? looks like a low swell with the occasional 6 footer.

I could see where that could be fun.

Did someone forget to let everything go? At the start of the clip, the helm
seems to be steering in the right direction, but the boat wasn't answering
to his turning the wheel. Too small a rudder?

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.

I like the bit at the end, they were *really* moving, completely
different ball game from the type of racing I've done.

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!

Good questions but it's not clear from the video what was keeping them
from easing the main. My guess is that the main sheet became fouled
in some way but I dont know. They were flying a spinnaker so it's
possible that some mix up on the foredeck was involved.

Doubt it's too small a rudder, looked to me like a "death roll" where
the boat gets too much windward heel and spins out in the opposite
direction of a traditional broach. Could have been the canting keel
did it to them. It looked to me like the spinnaker was pretty much
under control.

They certainly weren't execting it, nobody was near the runners much
less the mainsheet.

Poor *******s looked kinda cold, too
