Thumbs up Well done the rescuers

Well done to all involved, a happy resolution to a potential disaster. I am curious to know though. Why did only 3 get winched? Worsening weather, downwash affecting the dinghy? Both mentioned but what was the reason? So a rescue boat did the rest, how? Was it the notorious Dacon scoop? Would the outcome have been quite as satisfactory if there had been a bigger swell? I don't like too much "what if"ing, but is tonight's great result always repeatable?
