Extra cool video. Shared it with friends on Facebook. Questions:
1) how do you flip a Whaler in the first place?
2) what model was that in the video?
3) can parbuckling be done of small boats, manually, with long lines, and standing on the hull?

I believe it's a matter of how much weight you can get on the side of the hull. For your 15 I would assume at least four husky guys, or ladies. Think of a racing cat.

Most likely by hitting a wake or wave at speed. And/or by taking enough water aboard to swamp. Whalers are "unsinkable" but can be very unstable and flip when swamped.
