I agree with one person who commented that it's usually the skipper who goes overboard and unless he/she have trained the crew for a MOB/COB drill, then the most experienced member of the crew is in the water.
Also, the woman at 1:20 who says 'man overboard' appears to be the person who saw the person go overboard. She should never, ever take her eyes off the person and should stand in one spot and just point at the person, She can also call out the crew's position relative to the boat, such as at 3 o'clock, at 7:30, at 9 o'clock while pointing. Again, she should never ever take her eyes off the person because everyone else will be busy doing things (furling the sails, dropping the main, starting the engine, etc). Also, the COB pole should be the first thing that goes out. My sailboat in Alaska is required to have one for our races here. Note too that my life sling is tied to the stern rail and is used to encircle the crew member. In this video, the horseshoe ring isn't attach to anything but the COB pole, which does nothing to get the person close to the boat. Anyway, just a few notes from a guy who has sailed in frigid Alaskan waters for 30 years...
I am not a sailor yet but it seems to take along time to drop the equipment over the side after the guy went overboard
This is....not how it’s done.
If ever there was an advert for an auto release Jonbuoy/Danbuoy this video is it... It took far too long to release that clusterf*ck of MOB gear!
0:02 Look at the sponsors for this video. It's all about showing the effort to get your claim approved.
The part they never teach us on the courses. . . Very interesting to see this rescue being carried out. You read my mind too - this would be hugely difficult in any kind of swell. Stay on the boat - rule number 1! Thanks. Keep these coming please!
Way too slow, too many steps, too complicated. The easiest method is the Lifesling method using only the sails, no engine and no propeller to chop up the MOB. Lifesling only requires the release of one device and can easily be done by one person. Will have the MOB attached to the boat long before your method even gets the sails down.
But what do I know? Have had a real life man and dog go overboard in much rougher conditions than seen on the video... had them both back on board in less than 4 minutes in 20 knots of wind with the boat sailing upwind at 8 knots and did it alone.
You pulled them on board going 8 knots upwind?
@@SwagMaster-fq8qg please make video for us to see how that works! Thanks!
Wow ...too bad you didn't have that on video.
Was thinking the same thing
Having fallen overboard from a smallish sailing vessel in a seaway and been recovered in a far less thought out and meticulous manner by people with high levels of anxiety and adrenaline, I prefer the approach in the video
I learned when a MOB occurs, go into a beem reach for 8-10 boat lengths, tack to a broad reach and head down wind of the MOB. Then turn upwind dropping sail power, and come along side. Practiced it a dozen times, and the worst result was 1 minute 45 seconds until we recovered the MOB (a bucket tied to a fender). dropping the sail and motoring takes a while, and in cold water time is important. Worth practicing from time to time if you have not done it in a few years.
Safety skills should be practiced at absolute minimum 1x every year. Better yet 2-3 times.
Sorry -didn't like this method of the actual recovery. Too complex and dangerous in any seaway.
Great job, the USCG gives you kudos for your choice in PFD's.
No crash tack..? And the guy is nowhere near Dan bouy or horse shoe?
Don't fall off! Could be the video and editing but that seemed very complicated and time consuming. Left me with a cold sweat. Solo or in pairs you'd better have another plan.
I know nothing about this kind of thing and you learn something new everyday I guess.
Having said that, this seems like a painfully slow process! Like excruciatingly slow
what was the boat you were sailing with?
This is painful.
"go back to get the casualty" hmm you're right, by the time you get back to him and release the emergency gear he will be dead.
Ummm really what about rough seas, what about night time, what about lone sailing, what about inexperienced sailing crew and what about a little more realism.
However; I am a commercial diver and civil engineer. I am designing a self rescue system that functions via remote control by the person in the water.
This means anyone on the boat can self rescue if they are conscience and can function; ie. Swim and clip in.
I have an idea.Maybe if they run two zip lining wire cables on opposite sides of the boat and add hornes and attach them too the cables.No one will fall onboard.
Clipping on is the best answer but repetitive training and more and more and it becomes as second nature as all the other skills.
Unfortunately most boaters don't practice any emergency skills.
Just like drivers.
Doesnt look like it would be as fun to do in cold choppy waters, the moral of the story: dont go overboard unless you're in Fiji in calm waters.
Obviously it works ok only in ideal no waves and no wind conditions
When at sea MOB stands for lost at sea.
Good one. Like the no-nonsense approach of getting the sails down and engine on as fast as possible, while they still teach you MOB recoveries under sail everywhere else.
To be fair, you need to practice under sail most as it's the only procedure you're guaranteed to have available to you. Under motor requires very little planning - but you absolutely need to know how to plan and execute an approach under sail and spill/fill into proper position first time.
sorry but that would be a mess in weather and waves
Good informative movies
The MOB would’ve drowned by the time it takes to do that procedure. What about two people crews or 3-4 at the most? Hmm... this doesn’t look good.
why couldn't he just climb back on board himself? did he bang his head on the water or summing?
You try grabbing a boat that's moving and hauling yourself at least a meter vertically when you have cold hands and are water logged.
Now try it injured.
@@wcresponder that's what i'm saying, did he injure himself somehow?
Too much messing around. Honestly this is just crazy.
Disapointed with Yachting World. Its your worst video on a very important topic,
To me so many errors are shown in this video, I would like to see it removed and redone.
I teach If someone just fell off STOP the boat. Heave too or crash tack, The further you sail away, the longer they are in the water and more chance of drowning. What was the point of dan bouy or life ring when the victim was not in sight.
The sea was calm what if it was 2 metres you would never be able to see him I was RYA trained and dont follow there method as I think its too slow. I ensure every crew member is teahered if on deck solves this problem.
I do like the 'fast stop' methods. Particularly the one that involves passing through a heave-to and then coming in 45 degrees off the downwind to catch the MOB on the *windward* side. Controversial, definitely ... but it's the new RORC approved method and damned fast.
I hope I do not fall of your boat :-)
Please repeat the 3 pieces of safety equipment. Your accent made it difficult for me to understand.
Not your best video or moment. Thanks for trying on an important subject though.
Things not to be done: Man Over Board drills with real men over board - because 1st things happen differently 2nd than you presume 3rd there always is something and 4th you watch unfold your daily collection of curious. Just imagine a real emergency occuring while the man is in the water. I don't want to hear you swear then.vor 1 Sekunde•
Your comment makes no sense.
That dan bouy is pretty useless
Yup, wat too slow.
awful instruction.
I have an idea.Maybe if they run two zip lining wire cables on opposite sides of the boat and add hornes and attach them
too the cables.No one will fall onboard.
That might just work! Just need to think of a name for them. Jim-stays? Jack-remains?
