The second capsize at 2:04 is a good illustration of the importance of a low center of gravity when getting back in, or better still, pulling the yak underneath your horizontal body instead of trying to climb aboard from vertical.

I think his hull is full water at that time which made it less buoyant.

When My Brother flipped his. The front hatch was open. Game over in 2-3 seconds as it filled with water Sooooo fast! Without assistance and me getting the hatch closed ( due to my ULTRA STABLE thresher 155) I was able to flip that thing over. Powerboat saved the day with a bilge pump. Otherwise we'd have been calling the coast guard... Thank god there IS that option. Always remember to call them BEFORE your well past crisis and into a life and death situation due to hypothermia (It is a free service they extend to those that challenge the Big Blue....) Better have your safty gear though

That'd certainly screw things up for him!

When I am doing offshore fishing, I always make sure to go with a group or I will put something together to make sure there are plenty of people around in case of emergencies.  Safety is always in numbers while on the water!  I'm glad to see the guy made it back safely.
