At the risk of being pedantic, I've always used 'capsize' to mean the same thing as 'laid on beam ends', and 'inverted' or 'turned turtle' to mean a boat that has gone upside down. I think this is how it's referred to when sailing in dingies anyway. Happy to be corrected if my usage of these terms turns out to have been wrong for several decades.the boat did not fully capsize (it couldn't the mast hit the bottom and stopped it)
