South Atlantic Capsize

A sailboat designer writes about his personal experience of capsizing a large sailboat in a big open ocean storm, what was happening inside and outside the boat as it was thrown through the air and slammed into the trough of the monster wave, damage sustained in the process, what they did to ensure survival of boat and crew and how they returned to port. This digital version includes a chapter of factors that must be considered when planning how to successfully escape from an inverted boat, including some that most people would consider critical to ensuring survival but are more likely to trap and drown them. This is information not readily found elsewhere.
