Do not try to swim, except to get to the MOM or retrieve the throw rope.If PFD doesn't inflate automatically, blow it up.Drop the storm jib in the water (attached to the boat at all 3 corners) and roll the COB onto the sail, then haul him/her up in the sail.swing boom out over COB and put the running backstay tackle on the rear padeye to haul him/her up via the horseshoe or harness.COB is hoisted up using a halyard (like sack of potatoes) COB must be able to put MOM horseshoe round himself–or have it put around him/her, and attach halyard to MOM horseshoe lifting rings or to his/her harness.COB needs another line or hands to hang onto and must be able to keep legs straight feet spaced apart. The COB steps on this line while it is winched up. Drop a line over the side tied off at one end, and led to a winch on the other.COB climbs swim ladder, with or without assistance, if able.If the COB is unconscious or needs help, another person puts on PFD witha long line tied to the boat, and then-carrying flotation and a second line-swims to the COB to bring him/her back to the boat.If you can't maneuver under sail, turn on the engine being very careful not to get the propellor anywhere near the lines or MOB.If it's at all windy, come down on the windward side even if that's not where the swim ladder is. Drop the swim ladder, head into the wind near the COB and come down near him/her.If necessary, also throw the dinghy towline (yellow polypropylene). When you are almost directly downwind, head into the wind, luff up, and stop the boat near the COB. Reach and Stop: Go into beam reach, count slowly to six, then tack and head back on broad reach to a spot 2 boat lengths downwind of the COB.Quick Stop: Head into the wind and let sails backwind while the boat circles the COB.One person (if available) keeps the COB in sight and shouts encouragement to him/her.If the MOM doesn't deploy properly, throw overboard the DanBouy with Forespar lantern and whistle, and all the cockpit cushions.
Press and hold the Nav/MOB button on the GPS, and then choose GoTo to keep a constant fix on the COB's position.If going too slowly, or seas are too big, then do a Reach and Stop. Helmsman immediately does a Quick Stop if possible.Alert all the crew, and pull the pin out of the MOM (Man Overboard Module) to deploy it.Remember that if you go overboard you have a 50% recovery chance–so long as someone sees you go.At night, the person on watch wears PFD with tether attached to cockpit padeye.Always put on shoes when going forward from the cockpit.
Do NOT hold onto the lifelines use shrouds or fixed handholds. Attach tether to harness and jackline if it's at all rough. When going out of the cockpit in other than calm weather, wear PFD.No-one steps out of the cockpit unless another person is in it, day or night.Consequently, it's important to take every precaution to prevent this from happening. Homem au Mar (Crew Overboard) We learned that, in general, if a person falls overboard from a boat, they only have a 50% chance of being recovered.
