Very good and thorough video on this important subject. Thanks, I am going to have my crew watch too. Mitchell sv Sonata San Francisco Bay

Glad you like it. Yes, it is certainly your potential benefit that your crew watch it, anyone can go overboard. My wife and I used to sail in the SF bay … we raced as crew aboard a boat out of the Berkeley yacht club … great memories.

Hi, this was helpful. I wonder if you might consider the situation where the bow and stern are slamming too much to enable a person to board at the stern - fear of the stern knocking them for example. We have a line that we can attach to two stanchions on either bow or stern to act as a step for a mob (where they have strength to assist), a knife by the helm to cut the stanchion safety lines to allow us to reduce the height we have to lift people out of the water, a Duncan Wells dyneema floating safety line on each lifejacket with a loop to pick up with a boat hook, and a ‘handy billy’ block and tackle to pull 220lb/100kg plus of crew and soaked clothes out of the water. Of course, we try to avoid people falling in first off, but getting them out is proving to be potentially the biggest challenge. Fair winds and safe sailing ⛵️

You are absolutely correct - getting people out of the water can be a huge challenge. We will try to address some options in a future video. We have a couple ladder-type things that can hook to stanchions mid-ship and also have a b

Great information. I really enjoyed it. Please keep up the great work. But you should not put the loop of the throw bag around your wrist. I am a firefighter and swift water rescue tech. I even had the privilege of editing a swiftwater text book. I was also a white water guide. You should just hold the loop when u throw it. If it tied to u then u may accidentally be pulled in. Then you'll have 2 victims in the water. I tie all of my figure 8 at the end too small to slip over someone's wrist. I'm novice sailor but have saved multiple people with a throw bag. Thanks again. Great info.
