Anyone know any more?
Looks like a missing keel but then again everything's missing after it's been pounded on the beach for a while.

This is the video of the boat getting rolled.
Not nice and quite strange.

My translation of that video's headline "Avisei para no sair..." is
Advised sailors not to sail (to) whom died in the shipwreck were alerted.

I can speak Spanish, but this Portugues is guessable.

Yeah let's go and sail our keel yacht at the beach in a storm.

Maybe they were afraid of orcas further out or maybe there was some kind of rip or current or maybe orcas already trashed their rudder. Guess we will never know :-(.

Looks like they are attempting to cross the bar with an out going tide. It's no wonder they were told not to go! Always best to follow the locals advice.

I would swear that was an entirely different area and maybe even yacht to the one in the video originally posted.
The yacht doesn't roll in that video and in the video where it rolls it appears to be off a beach and sailing left to right when viewed from the land on a reach and perhaps more heavily reefed than in the Twitter video.
Perhaps the Twitter video was taken earlier whilst they were heading out to sea which they appear from the locale of the actual rollover video to have achieved tho with great difficulty messily but successfully.

Hard to tell however as videos are taken from vastly different vantages.

Yes you are right! Didn't read the article. Just saw the vid on a French website and thought it was the same incident. It's in Santander in Spain.

The only bad stuff was on the beach. Out offshore it appears ok, few whitecaps and no breaking waves.

A coastline with some of the biggest breaking waves in the world, places like Nazare that can regularly produce breaking waves in the 50 to 100ft height. Amazing that such stupid sailors thought that yachts can handle large breaking waves with beam on seas. Incredible stupidity really.
