- HOW TO RESCUE A MAN OVERBOARD - Save a Life - Anderson & Williamson Turn
HOW TO MAKE A MAYDAY CALL: • HOW TO MAKE AN EMERGEN...
We asked you what some of your biggest fears were on the water and on the boat. MANY of you said your worst nightmare was falling overboard. Of course, if you're alone on the boat the best thing you can do is wear the kill switch but what about if you have friends or family on board? In this video we teach both the Williamson Turn and the Anderson Turn. Knowing one of these turns like the back of your hand can make you feel confident in your ability to take a potentially scary situation and turn it into a cool, calm, collected AND prepared one. We recommend picking a method that makes the most sense for you and your boat and practicing it while traveling at different speeds and directions.
Williamson turn:
Ideal in reduced visibility (i.e. fog, nighttime, high seas). If executed properly it positions the ship on the exact reciprocal course on where the victim fell over. Original speed should be maintained in order to stay on course.
1. Man falls overboard
2. Point at victim and yell MAN OVERBOARD
3. Throw a life ring at victim
4. If possible keep eyes on victim, point fingers at victim - have designated look out
5. Captain turns hard to side that person fell overboard on as to keep them safely out of the props.
6. Once vessel reaches 60 degrees off original course turn wheel hard to opposite side.
7. Once vessel is 20 degrees short of reciprocal course bring wheel to midship.
8. Vessel with naturally line up exactly 180 degrees of original course.
Ex. MAN FALLS OVERBOARD ON STARBOARD SIDE - If original course is 0 degrees North. Man falls overboard on STB side, turn wheel hard to STB until compass hits 60 degrees. Once compass hits 60 degrees turn wheel hard to PRT until you are 20 degrees short of reciprocal course. The reciprocal course of 0 is 180. 20 degrees short of 180 will be 200. When your compass hits 200, bring your rudder to midship (aka center your wheel) and your vessel will straighten out to be exactly on your reciprocal course.
Pros: Puts you on exact reciprocal course. Great for nighttime, low visibility, fog, high seas, stormy weather.
Cons: Takes longer to perform, keeps your victim in the water longer.
Anderson turn:
Fastest recovery method. Best for clear visibility and calm seas. Best for ships with tight turning characteristics.
1. Man falls overboard
2. Point at victim and yell MAN OVERBOARD
3. Throw a life ring at victim
4. If possible keep eyes on victim, point fingers at victim - have designated look out
5. Captain turns hard to side that person fell overboard on as to keep them safely out of the props.
6. Once vessel reaches 250 degrees off original course bring rudder to midship (aka center your wheel)
Ex. MAN FALLS OVERBOARD ON STARBOARD SIDE - If original course is 0 degrees North. Man falls overboard on STB side, turn wheel hard to STB until compass hits 250 degrees. Once compass hits 250 bring your rudder to midship (aka center your wheel) and your vessel will straighten out and intersect where your victim fell overboard.
Ex. MAN FALLS OVERBOARD ON PORT SIDE - If original course is 95 degrees South East. Man falls overboard on PRT side, turn wheel hard to PRT until compass hits 205 degrees. Once compass hits 205 bring your rudder to midship (aka center your wheel) and your vessel will straighten out and intersect where your victim fell overboard.
Pros: FAST. Puts you at an intersect of your victim. Great for good visibility, calm seas.
Cons: Only good for vessels with tight turning characteristics. If you don’t see your victim right away your are now traveling away from your victim as opposed to being on your exact reciprocal course.

So you girls just did a video showing the proper way to call in Securite/Pan Pan/ and May Day calls and I shared it to my wife,friends, and my son and nephew.The next day after watching that I was stung in the foot by a sting ray in Beaufort,NC.My wife called 911 to report it ,as we still had cell service ,but I was feeling very dizzy at this point .By the time we walked back to the boat and got the kids and wife on I was feeling faint and she couldn’t tell them where we were or where the closest spot was from our position because she never really runs the boat, I do.My nephew and son remembered what your video taught us about Various call and what channel to use so they turned to Ch.16 and hailed Coast Guard.They were able to get me to a ambulance quickly and to the hospital where I had the barb removed and stayed for a few hours.Thank you so much for that video and thank you for putting out quality videos.It’s possible that your video saved my life as I had a allergic reaction to the venom and almost lost consciousness so I couldn’t help them much at that time.I just wanted to let you know how much your safety videos do and that I truly thank you for doing it.(P.S. I just bought the stickers your offering for any future mishaps).Talk soon and tight lines!!!!
Love the channel and the apparel, I hope that one day my two girls may be as passionate about fishing and the ocean as you both are.
The overhead drone view was very interesting, seeing actually what was happening. Love the videos
I'm a Crew member for Marine Rescue New South Wales in Australia. We use the Anderson turn in all our drills. You explained it and performed it very well in your clip. Great job guys
The Williamson Turn is the same turn that we use in flying for shooting approaches. We call it a Procedure Turn. Crop dusters use the same turn for spraying and just move over a bit each time to cover the field.
Pro tip, don't gaff the guy that fell overboard :) Love your videos btw.
this is great, as well as the last one regarding radio. keep in mind a stuffed float with a float is going to drift with the wind, not current.
a human will drift more with tides and ocean currents.
Guys , i have been boating for over 40 years and in reality you do not pay attention to a situation that can happen without warning . I learned a lot on this video . Thank you for posting it. You girls are the best .
Thank you!!!
I made my boating license in Greece and here they teach people to turn around and approach the moan over board form downwind and stop about a boat length short so that the wind pushes the person towards the boat. This way we minimize the chance of hitting the person with the boat.
Actually, a stopped boat (due to her windage area) is affected more from the wind than a man at sea. So, if you are not pretty close to the MOB, the wind will push you away from him/her as soon as you stop the boat.
It would be preferable to keep the MOB on the leeward side of the boat. By doing this, even if you are not exactly where the person is, the wind will push you towards him (if you are parallel of him) plus the fact that the wind will help you throw him one more life buoy in case he didn't get the first one. In addition, you stand like a shield from the wind for him/her by reducing the waves towards him.
I was an officer in the merchant navy so application to bigger ships. Williamson turn when you don't see the person go overboard. Anderson when you see them and can react straight away.
Also after pressing the mob button, sound 5 to 6 short blast. Determine if you need to make a direct or indirect approach based off consciousness. Make sure vessel is in neutral and sitting at 0 knots. Crewmember could also communicate with coxswain using boat nomenclature while pointing "He is at STBD Bow, STBD beam, throttle down, neutral." But this is great info!
CLEAN N CLEAR TURN BRAVO
While I was out today on Long Island Sound I tried the Williamson turn several times and at different speeds. Worked well. Thanks.
Great explanations and great driving. You pick the best topics.
Love what you ladies do.
Great instructional video!!
This made my day.
The drone footage was invaluable. Well done. Perhaps mentioning a strong current or winds would also be informative? I grew up water skiing and we would always pick up a downed skier on the downwind side - makes recovery MUCH easier as they are drifting toward the boat. Wish you guys could bottle your enthusiasm so you could sell it and have your engines painted!
Great video as always! In Greece we learn a variant of the Anderson turn, but with a twist... Turn the wheel to the direction of the victim, make a full turn, and place the boat between the wind/current and the MOB so they will not drift away. Throw them the ring and drag them on board. No use of hooks. Still, if there is no other person on board apart from the captain to save the man, always approach from the helm side. (If the helm is on one side and not in the center!) Nice job girls! Stay safe!
Your channel is invaluable. Especially for a new boater like me. I so appreciate the time, effort and energy you guys put into your informative videos. I love the overhead drone video in this one showing the turn as you're describing it. Great work ladies.
Great video! Fun and educational 😃
Wonderful information ladies thank y'all
i love your channel. learned alot about fishing and boating.
Very good video on a most important subject. The drone shots made it crystal clear on how these maneuvers work.
Thanks for sharing.
Get the hell outta here
I was confused when I saw two girls that looked pretty much the same then I read your channel title haha! Thank you! Very interesting.
Great job Captains. My husband and I discuss this all the time. He shows be how to disconnect the auto pilot to come back to pick him up.
Just had someone go overboard on a NCL cruise on the breakaway. Must be a terrifying way to go.
That was cool and fun thanks
This is good info, thanks
good job
You guys are great. Too much fun making that video.
lol you two have to much fun...great vid
👍 Awesome video and information!
awesome
My heroes 👏🏽👏🏽
nice video so interesting i learned a lot keep it up,well done..
Excellent instructional video.....now back to the dock for the Clean & Cook portion of Mr Mahi! ;)
You kids have so much fun, even on a serious lesson as this one. Great video to train my grandson with as he loves being on the water.
Do you have an episode that explains what you should do if you are the one overboard. I'll have to look that up. If not you two would make a great pair for that.
Great job ladies. Chuckled when you used the gaff for the rescue lol
You girls are going to be great
Another great and helpful video. I just get a email saying the package I won just arrived! Love you guys!
Let’s keep it simple. Prior to launching the vessel., let your passengers know that they will be brought in by gaff if they fall overboard. Problem solved😉🤷♂️. Question though:Is there a difference in maneuvering whether the passenger falls out from the bow vs stern in say a 50 foot vessel?
Great explanations! Gaff made me laugh tho 🤣
Love this video. Explanation, graphics and live demo with drone is invaluable! though... lookout should have had eyes on MOB & communicating with skipper throughout.
I always enjoy man overboard training. I just wish I could hop overboard instead, but we have to stay safe and use a manikin.
We love you girls ...keep the videos coming !!
My biggest fear is being out on an inflatable unicorn swan when there's a shark circling. So which turn did you use when a Gale Force Twin fell overboard whilst picking up her anchor ball? Manny F.
What do you do if there is a strong current? Do you assume that the boat and MOB are drifting at the same speed therefore no adjustment to the plan?
What gaff do you recommend for MOB recoveries?
steven spielberg director? love it . and academy awards goes to best support actress ? Gale Force Twins :)
I guess it’s very important to keep the gaff sharp and clean for MOB recovery ?
In this simulation you have all the time in the world to get the boat turned around and headed back to the MOB location. In a non-simulated event the man (or woman) overboard may not be wearing a life jacket AND cannot swim. Then the acronym "DOA" might be appropriate unless you whip your boat around at or near full throttle and bear down on the MOB location ASAP, and throw anything that can float at the person thrashing about in the water. If it looks like the person is struggling to get air I would jump in after them. Anything that would cut the time to rescue trumps all other procedures.
In the tradition of warnings on coffee cups stating that its "hot" liquid... Just remember not to reach for a real MOB with the gaff! 😉👍 (Unless you don't like them)
Great vidio
👍
This is also good for when your favorite hat blows off...😉
Also known as a “hat-tastrophe”
👍👍👍👍
These maneuvers, you will need to practice on. Just like CPR or first aid, you need to keep your skills honed. Thanks.
I am a man and have been accused of being overboard for many years. So aparently i need rescueing by professionals and would appreciate you guys coming to my rescue. Since tgis may be a life and death ordeal i would be truly greatful for a prompt response. Oh SUGAR, a school of sharks coming. Phew! My bad, just a pack of disgruntled karens. Hello? HELLO? Oh dear!! Maybe i should just sing for a while. " nobody loves me everybody hates me i think I'll eat some worms............
I'm doing my coxswain exam on Friday. But his confused me, need fail me if I hit astern, according to our training we have to go idle in approach, once reached hit neutral and let the wind and current bring you towards the person. . . You girls are not mentioning how to consider the wind... seems there are so many techniques that are correct but these examiners are looking for a specific method. . .
Will this be on the Captains test ???
Yes. Or some aspects of it.
More good stuff. Would be cool to see SeaSchool or one of the others pick this up for classes. Much more entertaining than some of that CG Auxiliary stuff... although (and I know we all know better), it would have to be pretty dire straits to rescue a MOB with the pointy end of a gaff, even on a calm day. There's no boat hook on that well-equipped rig you're running? :-)
Helloo first let me grab my snack lol😂
Its hard to watch any of your videos without smiling from ear to ear. I will probably never use any of this, but you sure made it fun to learn. Its also good to do drills with what you do, even if you do overdramatize it a little for the audience 😆.
Use the gaf
Great video. I learned a lot. Thank you for concentrating on what is important, which is a captain saving a person that has fallen overboard. These days some people are more worried about the gender term “man” than learning about how to save a person. In this case everyone knows man=person and thank you for focusing on what is rational and important.
Plot twist a sharks s see the mahi and interrupts your example
These girls know the right topics to talk about. Way to go!!
Am enjoying these general boating knowledge videos. You two should thing about recording an online course you can sell
Takeaway: rescue buddy using gaff hook. Got it. 😀
I'm not sure i would want rescuing if someone was going to gaff me back into the boat lol, jk of course, great video as usual😀
Would you try to get Gale Force Mom out of the water with that boat hook? I believe you wouldn't survive that (shit)storm afterward.
I'm pretty sure that was Emily's voice! Mr. Mahi's voice would be a little deeper!😂
No one I fish with would be able to do the math, the poor guy would be treading water for an hour before we figured it out! (That is if we realized he even fell out.) Just kidding....or am I? Great video, loved all the drama.
Quá sướng
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
This is one of the best drills ever!
We learned in a live "test" on our first sail on our sailboat. A friend and his wife that were helping us on our maiden voyage decided to stand up and flop his butt over the rail. As he said it he asked" how are you gonna save me"....
I hit him as soon as he came above the water with a throw cushion, dumped the sails and had a line to him in 45 seconds. It was like I already knew what to do.....
She gafed mahi
Best not to gaff the person you are trying to rescue... unless you really have to :)
I see you used a gaf to retrieve Mr Mahi...I thought you wanted to save him? ROLF
Biggest Mahi ever caught? ;)
Another handy reminder lesson. The only time I was involved in a MOB situation, we sent up a helo. . .
.
Aircraft carriers don't make quick u-turns!
We had a guy go overboard. Before we had a chance to do anything, the RNZN ship following us had picked him up and served him a tot of rum.
@@michaelsommers2356 One of the nice things about being rescued by a ship with RN traditions LOL
All that math renders my man overboard drowned before I can find my calculator and work out his rescue..
Education w/ humor is a great combo!
*******I M P O R T A N T*******
You should have mentioned the most important part of rescuing a MOB.
ALWAYS approach the MOB from downwind or down current. If the MOB is approached from upwind or up current there is an extremely high chance of the boat setting over the MOB and probably injuring them. Then, another approach will have to be made. This wastes time and prolongs the rescue when time is of the essence.
depends on circumstances right? Because the draft of the vessel can push you away from the mob very quickly aswell. windward and leeward.

Why not just make the turn and come at them is that not the same thing 😕
Very instructive but humorous, kudos to Mr Mahi
Don't gaff your buddy 😂😂😂
So that's how you put a life jacket on a Mahi...
It’s not a man overboard nowadays. It’s a person overboard 😂😂😂😂
Hahahahah
Fishing. Must. Be slow 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Damn hating on women.....
@@nygx9373 children
Should’ve jumped off and made it more realistic. Lol but the magi was cute
I'm not the fastest at math so goodbye buddy Williamson turn fail. I'll be sure to make up a heroic story of your passing.
what about a " Woman overboard? " Just leave her 🤭 Meet my wife , take her please 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Notice, there is not a "woman" overboard button, just sayin'
