How small of a wave can capsize my boat?

I saw a photo of the boat in this article. Here's the image

It's not a C-Dory.

That boat looks pretty good, from here, to be a roll over. The bow rail looks OK and looking closely, the one antenna is still sticking up, and so is the anchor light, although there may be an antenna down on the port side. It is right side up. All good ways to be after a roll. Although the articles said they say it roll, I wonder if they saw it pitch, and then the ensuing splashing hid the righting. Could have been a lot worse..... and everyone walked away.
