I think I would have had something a bit stronger than a beer. RUM at least.

At about :48 seconds into that clip it looked like he nearly lost it as the wave came under the hulls. It looked like the rudders were lifted and he started sliding sideways, then the rudders came down and he could steer it down the wave, but that was very close to a major broach! Must have been a hellofa ride!

The problem was the boat was lifted high center on the wave and started to pivot sideways on it. once the bows were in the water, the boat had something to keep it in a straight line. Either way, on a scale of 1 to 10, that was stupid.
