Can someone explain how a boat turtles? I went over once last summer on lake Lanier when as a newbie, still am. I came about to hard and my crew slid out of the boat. This caused a huge pendulum affect and we went over. The main and the jib were up and the sails acted like a brake when they hit the water and the boat just lay nicely on its side. It is hard for me to picture that for what ever reason when a Capri goes over that with the sails up and crew, acting as counter weight, there is enough momentum in the mast to make the boat turn completely over, unless maybe the crew land in the sail.
A description of what actually happen would be great.

Take off your life jacket and start winding the halyard around it. That should get the end of the mast started up to the surface.
