When I was on vacation this summer, We went whale watching. Every time the spotter ID'ed a spout, the tourists would run from one side of the boat to the other to get a better view. A couple of times, I felt the boat heel very sharply under me.

So I can see a couple more circumstances providing a mechanism for capsizing.
