yes, the kinetic energy at play is definitely evident, but I think a lot of the seemingly long time spent skidding to a halt is extended by the kinetic energy of the wind. that rig is still being blown along by the same wind that tipped it over in the first place.
a following sea can be helpful, as long as you want to go where the sea's going. When you try to deviate, the resulting quartering sea can be very dangerous, as the big red sailcraft in the video demonstrates
