the moment a boat decides gravity has a better idea than buoyancy.
means a vessel rolling over in the water until it floats upside down or sinks, usually because it lost its balance of weight and water.
from from the spanish or french capuzar, meaning to sink by the head, first used in english sailing accounts in the 1700s to describe ships flipping in storms.
