Northeaster Dory Capsize Test on Maine Island Trail (UPDATED)

Due to various factors we were unable to overnight on the Maine Island Trail (MITA) this year. However, we were able to do some practice capsizing. Some thoughts:
we capsized on a calm day with no gear in the boat
I think (hope) that our dry bags, if well tied down would actually add buoyancy. They float and are large.
with standard under-seat flotation as called for in the NE Dory plans, we had the topmost plank above the water after righting.
even with this freeboard, it was very tippy and strong chop would make bailing much more challenging
I used a 10 quart paint bucket to bail and it took under 3 minutes of bailing to get the water down to safe levels
based on other swamping tests not included in the video, those small bailers (clorox bottle and small scooper) were nowhere near as effective as the bucket
the importance of tying everything down was clear. Even with a virtually empty boat, stuff (paddles, sponges, bailers) went everywhere immediately. Not tying down my bucket resulted in a lot of cursing (edited out in post-production) even in a calm test run.
Finally: could the sail be used as a kind of sea anchor if made fast to the bow!? The way it was floating next to the boat in this video made me think it could be used to keep everyone head to wind if the seas got up. This could make bailing easier and might prevent re-capsizing. Just a thought.
UPDATE: Based on some comments on boating fora, and in a demonstration of my commitment to the science of small boat safety, I've edited the video to include the awkward sequence of my re-boarding. Though undignified, getting in the boat in deep water was not difficult. However, because significant quantities of water unavoidably came in with me, I conclude that attempts to "pre-bail" while floating next to a capsized NE Dory are not productive. Similarly, attempts to "slosh" water out of the boat prior to re-boarding were equally ineffective. What little water was removed came right back in when I came over the rails. I now believe that reboarding as quickly as possible and limiting time in the water is the best and safest plan.
