Very Risky
Great effort and skills by the pilote indeed and lucky sailor he didnt loose himself or his daughter in that big wave , this happened few years ago , but was it wise for the sailor to sail out in these conditions ? apparently not .

What a cock up all around!
Not to mention a lot of over hype.

Losing a jib is tough but trimming the main and heading up into the seas would have been a bit more logical than running abeam.

If those are the boat handling skills of the Wales coast guard, I'll pass on their help.

As for the pilot, dude is that a wench that I saw on the right side of the Jet Ranger (not even my first choice for off shore rescue by a long shot)?

- Piloting a copter like that takes a spec...
  I would imagine that the news crew pilot had no type of experience in some sort of rescue operation. To attempt to do so without training could have been disastrous for everyone concerned. How many times to you hear of someone who's jumped into the water to rescue someone, and then themselves drown?

- Yeah
  news crews are vultures. They'd never sacrifice their big story to actually, you know, help people that really need it. Selfish pricks.
