These videos are great, thank, you! BBC: Beam reach, Broad reach, Close-hauled. Excellent acronym.

The last point of sail on a man overboard drill under sail is close reach, not close hauled. The advantage of a close reach is that you can head up or bear away a bit in order to adjust course to the person in water. If you're close hauled, it's impossible to maintain way and also head up nearer to the wind. (You'd go into irons.) Close reach is more flexible because it can move a bit upwind or a bit downwind, as needed.

Don't see your point Bob. The diagram clearly shows the boat turning to wind and heaving to. Agree with tentsforpaddles that your pointer is "king" and should do only that job. One thing that I teach on MOB is that the boom should be centralised prior to going downwind just in case an accidental gybe occurs. Also I furl my headsail and check for ropes before starting the engine (that's from bitter experience!!) Must say that this series is probably the best set of instructional videos I have ever seen. Great instructor.

Hi there, Thanks for your videos. I like the fact that you demonstrate things in reality in addition to the usual diagrams. Just one criticism of the procedure followed in this video. At 0:46 you instructed Lizzy to "man the furling line". At that time she was pointing at the casualty. If I was the skipper my policy would be that whoever initially takes up the role of pointing at the man overboard (usually the person who first saw the incident and deployed the man-overboard gear), that is their ONLY role from that point on (especially in rough seas). Any other responsibilities or tasks should be delegated to other crew members, but NOT the crew with the "eyes on" role. This ensures that their eyes never leave the direction of the casualty in a situation where the orientation of boat to casualty is changing swiftly. In your video, there was some period of time (maybe only a few seconds, but maybe more) from 0:45 secs onward where no-one was looking at and pointing at the casualty. IMO, it's critical that at least one set of eyes never leaves the casualty.

Agree. In any sort of waves and even in daylight, it's extremely easy to lose sight of a person in the water. (They are very low in the water and can dip below wave peaks.) The person watching the person overboard should never take their eyes off them or stop pointing at them. Someone else should operate the other parts of the boat.

Very nice videos. I should have to point out that the girl (spotter/pointer) should not have taken her eyes from the MOB when the boat turned. Best regards.

Chris Anifadis - good spot. We’ll get that corrected when we video the next one,

would you really invoke mayday immediately?

Yes indeed and the reason is you are buying your MOB time. A person falling overboard will succumb to cold water shock, especially if the sea temp is 15 degrees C or lower. Cold water shock can induce cardiac arrest and secondary drowning. As skipper you. Won’t know the condition of your MOB until you get back to them. How long is that going to take?? 15, 20 mins? When you get back to them if its the worst case scenario then if you hit the distress alert button you have bought that person 30 mins which can mean the difference between life and death. If they are undamaged then you can always cancel the distress call. Your MOB still has to be taken to hospital ASAP because of the risk of Delayed drowning. As a skipper you have some big alls to make - that’s the job 😊

Your diagrams reflect the opposite indication of the actual maneuvers you take. As students or beginners are trying to learn from the video, shall we not induce confusing by present conflicting information. Best Regards, Bob

Yes I was hoping that was the case , trying to follow both was confusing but quickly realized what was happening and actually a good ''test'' to work it out . Great Video's and very clear instructions .
