They get it going again towards the end of the video and it looks like
they are making at least 20 kts through big waves.

Did someone forget to let everything go? At the start of the clip, the
helm seems to be steering in the right direction, but the boat wasn't
answering to his turning the wheel. Too small a rudder?

I heard a guy ask if anyone had a knife and I saw him sawing away
at the rope that was holding in the mainsail shortly afterwards. It did not
seem to be the mainsheet.
