It doesn't look like they were going uphill and it looks like their rudder stalled. How many of you would have stabbed it into the wind before it was too late? Was the boat behind them a bunch of pussies or smart?
Don't be bitter because they are getting paid.
Not bitter.
I've also done them a dis-service, they were going downhill, (you can see the mark behind them). They just did not bear away far enough when the hull lifted, you can see from the onboard that they are (probably) far enough in front on Holmatro.
At about 9 seconds you can see they had some room to leeward; they could (maybe) have saved it by dumping some traveller and a bit of a bear-off.
Will know more in a couple of weeks as a mate is out on one for a jolly.
