Broaching:- when a steep following sea causes the vessel to ‘surf’ forwards controllably, the bow tends to ‘dig’ into the wave ahead, decelerating the vessel rapidly.  The forces on the stern will cause the stern to swing violently to the left or right and the vessel will come to rest broadside to the waves.  A rapid “broaching” may cause a capsize.
