The QUARTERDECK Sailing Podcast
Sports:Wilderness
Part 2 of our 'crew overboard' deep dive! Now we get to the more difficult bit - how to get someone back onboard. This is really a two part procedure: How to get the boat back to the person, and then how to get the person back on the boat.
There is of course countless scenarios which alter the exact procedure, but we will endeavour to give you a basic framework which you can adapt to your boat, conditions and situation accordingly. Saying that, we will dig into the nitty gritty of what to do if you are sailing upwind, downwind and how the situation changes if the casualty is conscious or unconscious. And as so many of us all sail short handed, we will give our two cents on how to pick up a crewmember solo!
Truly we hope none of you (or us) ever have to use this in anger - but knowing what to do in the circumstance is literally the difference between life and death.
