What the helmsman did wrong is he broached. From the direction of the waves
it appears he was broad reaching. Yet he never even bothered looking behind
to check for rogue or misdirected waves. Instead he was posing for the
camera trying to look cool. In other words imagining how great he was going
to look on video and not paying attention to the real job at hand. When one
particularly large wave hit him on the quarter it slewed the boat around.

He should have been paying attention to the waves approaching on the
quarter. All he would have to have done is steered so as to have the wave
approach directly from astern. Dummy!
