Hope I don't sound like a complete DA here, but,What happened to cause the boat to list? Too much in the nets?
Combination of errors and failed gear, you bet the nets are heavy, but he was closing them up, not picking them up..
I'd personally have issues with that hull, it just looks a bit to flat-bottomed for my liking. Thats what made it just lay there on it's side, it couldn't roll back over on its own without assist due to design.
There were no related injuries and they had plenty of support from the tenders and thats always a good thing...

Nope, that boat was not unable to roll back due to design... It clearly is well beyond it's design list and at that point has more righting moment out of the water than any more-rounded hull configuration. That snap-acting hull design had far more self-righting forces at work, but they were canceled by being anchored to the bottom, or hanging too much off the side.
Those flat bottoms are great for flat calm water but when it gets rough they work too hard, too fast at leveling up. art
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

What's all this fancy "righting moment" talk? You take Naval Architecture?
I took both NA and Ocean Engineering at UW - both very interesting courses. Some serious math problems in OE. I remember drawing ship lines and cross sections by hand.
Saw a seiner go turtle up in Togiak once. I think it was '90 or somewhere in there. Huge set, waiting on tender, tide got them and they went out around the spit, off the shelf and herring either sounded or died and sank. If I remember, it was nice tin boat from Kodiak called the "Orca".
They had a giant set in '88 or so too, but saved it, and it went 12% or so, and of course the price was crazy that year.
