I'd be very curious to know what's being said between the two men in the third picture...

As for the progression of events, I'm trying to determine exactly what happened.

Pic 1 - The yacht is being lifted with two straps... no problems yet.

Pic 2 - The front strap is no longer there. Whatever it was exactly that broke (strap itself, boom, etc.) the yacht nose-dived into the water. It couldn't have been the aft strap since that end was still in the air.

Pic 3 - I'm guessing that as the bow fell the stern just kept it's momentum and flipped up and over.

Pic 4 - Now is where I'm a bit confused. Did the aft strap tear away the propulsion system as the yacht slid out?
