Man Over Board Part 1 What Should you Consider?

   Man Over Board - What should you consider?
 PART 1 - Preparation

This is the first in a three-part series of articles, looking at how to prepare for and deal with man overboard situations.
Losing
 a member of crew overboard is serious and every skipper's worst 
nightmare. Every crew should have plans and procedures in place to deal 
with such a situation.
Personal equipment to enable the crew member 
to remain afloat, equipment to help you make contact with the man over 
board (MOB), and a means of recovering the person from the water safely 
and quickly should all be considered.
Most importantly, once you have a plan in place, practice it - and then practice it again with someone else taking control!
Time is absolutely critical. And with that as our primary concern, we look at what you can do to ensure a successful recovery.
