  1. That's called broaching.

    A sailboat broaches when its heading suddenly changes towards the wind due to wind/sail interactions for which hull hydrodynamic reactions cannot compensate. This happens when the aerodynamic force on the rig greatly exceeds the hydrodynamic force on the hull, usually due to a sudden increase in wind strength. In small boats and dinghies, broaching often leads to capsize or a Death Roll.
