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.
