You lose speed rapidly... but the boat stays upright almost every time.
Racers avoid this method of capsize prevention because it guarantees you will essentially come to a stop. But for pleasure sailing... stopping is better than swimming. (unless you like swimming)
Note in this guy's initial recovery he just about loses it AGAIN because the boat is sideways to the wind.
Try to get the bow pointed into the wind and its easier.
