Video is indeed interesting, but I get so tired of titles that are outright lies.
"Crashing".... "Capsized".... (sigh)
(It's deliberate --- The more outrageous the title the more views and the more "eyes" on the ads....)

I'm wondering if hoisting a sail would've been helpful?? Sorry, rookie question but seems a heeled boat may have unstuck easier. Or maybe there is fear of damage to rig?

Sails do provide way more torque and power than the little diesel engine but it appears that the wind was blowing from the wrong direction. Probably how he ended up there in the first place!
