Not a Catalina.  Looks like a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey DS. . .

I'll bet his first stop after returning to the breakwater was to change his shorts...

Jack,

Assuming there was crew on board, I'll bet there was a whole boat load of soiled laundry to attend to.

So how many shots would it take to make you think that it was a fine day for a sail

That guy made a big mistake.

It's always better to have a little sail up in conditions like that.    Helps you punch through that first wave before you go vertical and smooths the roll out on the back side.

.............looks like he really needed to take a bigger run at it.

Apparently his can of Fosters Lager survived intact.
