For the Volvo Ocean Race, the boats must demonstrate inverted flotation, minimal water incursion and ability to self right using the swing keel. So they drop the boat in the water inverted, four crew are inside looking for leaks, when things look OK, then they cant the keel and wait for physics to take over. I don't think the crew on the power yacht above were doing a similar test.
