Agreed that having a person dedicated to watching the MOB is very important. A
number of years ago I was delivering a boat on Lake Erie with a chute up. It
was a very pleasant evening sail, and we were doing 6 or 7 knots heading east.
Two of my drunk crew started sumo wrestling on the foredec
Can’t help but jump in.
If someone goes overboard and there are enough people on board, someone should
be assigned to watch the mob at all times. A person in the water can be hard to
see and easy to lose track of. Learned that in the CG. Also, we have a friend

100% agree Andy. I think that 50/50 chance of getting back on board is only
if someone sees you go overboard also. If you are on watch alone, your
chances drop to pretty much nil.

I'm seeing that, too. The Finisterre div in the Bermuda Race is growing like
crazy. As is the cruiser div at Block Island Race Week. I think it’s a healthy
trend and rating rules are helping it. I don't think I'm unique in going from
being a red hot racer to just wanting to sail my living room w
Wow, Bill, that’s quite a story. My (now) father-in-law pulled one of those
jump-off-the-boat-to-be-funny routines. I was not amused, but no one got hurt.

Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and
every one is greatly appreciated.
That certainly sounds like good advice. I now keep lots of throwables in the
cockpit.
I recall an incident that happened to me around 20 years ago. We were headed
back to the harbor on a beautiful 4th of July weekend, as squalls were about an
hour away. For some reason, my daughter and her f
Spring is coming and it's time to make sure your boat is ready for
sailing. Here's the link to the C&C Photoalbum recommissioning checklist.
It can also be found in the DIY section of the site.

One of the things I stress before we head offshore is that if someone goes
overboard, absolutely everything that floats should be tossed in after
them. You're trying to create a debris field to aid in locating the MOB,
not just give them something to hang on to.
Another thing I stress is that if yo
There are 3 tasks - throwing something to assist the MOB, finding them and
getting them back on board. A ring, horseshoe,cushion for the first. We
have an inflatable MOB pole for the second (with AIS in our lifejackets
offshore) for the second and the Lifesling for retrieval.

Our 29-2 came with the port locker lid glued down. I cut the hardened
mastic with a hacksaw blade, cut a hole in the top of the space, cleaned up
the lid and added a piano hinge, and used the space for hanging bags of
empty cans, etc. There was a capped through-hull down below which had never
