To me If they had deployed a sea anchor on board they could have used that to straighten the boat so at least the wind would have been coming from behind the boat and with a small sail it would have given them stability

what other scenarios do you think could have been used ?
Im not criticizing there rescue but looking forward to a better result I my boat was in that situation but it wont as my steering has been thoroughly inspected and repaired and out come on this web site is valuable info for all
And would it be better to sea anchor off the bow or stern depending on the design of the yacht and it size and weight
