So does the jibe happen the moment the boom swings from port to starboard or is it earlier when they get in the trough? Thanks for the answer, by the way!

Accidental Jibe and subsequent mini-broach of the boat, it can be very dangerous as you can lose a mast or get broadsided by a wave if you don't right the boat quickly enough. Happens quite often in the Southern Oceans.

As a sailing ignoramus, and yet a recent religious convert, I'd like to ask someone to explain what's actually going on.

Yes the mast must be very strong and I suppose the keel is out the wrong side so someone has to winch it up to bring the boat upright.

It is both mounted and crew-held camera. Each boat has a media crew member dedicated to filming on this race.

I heard "whatever you do, don't go out without a harness". Good advice considering!
