I wonder if they tried the old trick of getting the crew and guests to run from side to side

They could run a dingy out to one side with a halyard......

What's the ugly mast with what look like lights at the bow?

It's got all the radar, satcom and radio ariels attached to it.

As Woodlouse says, it's got most of the aerials etc on it. The masts themselves rotate (rather than the yards swinging around the masts as would be traditional) and also have very little space available once the sails are set.

You'd have thought a decent fwd looking echo sounder would stop this?
