Practice with it, before you need it. You might discover it would take too long doing it the way you described. Or you might think of a better way.
Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR We have a lifesling, that if the person in the water can get into it, he/she can be lifted aboard......the line from the lifesling will run through a block attached to the end of the boom and from there to another block on the toe rail, then to a winch. The boom can be positioned so that the end is out over the water and the MOB can be lifted over the lifelines or brought in through either the stbd/port gate. Sounds like it would work however I have never tried it and hope not to do so in a real situation. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.
