When we were visiting last winter, we arrived on a red flag day. It was super easy for us to sail north less than 2nm, grab a transient slip in the harbor in Spanish Town and take a taxi down to the baths. It costs a bit more than a mooring, but it's zero stress, and it's a beautiful hike down from the ticket office.

It’s a great method once you know your boat well enough to be able to heave to at just the right moment to come to a halt at the right spot to drift down onto the casualty. The engine can help a bit but in windy conditions it won’t be enough to counter the power in the sails. My suggestion is that you try this as a first attempt if you are sailing upwind at the time. You can send a mayday, prepare a lasso line, get the engine on, mark the MOB on the plotter, throw a line, … and by this time you will know if you are going to reach the casualty. If it doesn’t work you are very close and can furl the jib for your standard figure of 8 method.

I always thought it would be a good idea to have a ring out a 100 yrd behind the boat at all times just in case. Maybe the man can catch it maybe not, depends but still makes sense. Cruise ships should do it as well.

Why use cleat hitch when there is OXO ? If you like it more complex and inconvenient but "looking" more secure? then use cleat hitch. If you value good seamanship - OXO. Ever tried to untie cleat hitch with one hand in a hurry? good luck with that great knot

This is what John Kretchmer and several other sailors I know also advises. Heave to and turn on the engine. It seems pretty obvious to everyone except boards that decide what beginning sailing lessons should include. These assume no engine, but also quick recovery. They also assume one person on board who needs a bit of distance to spot and line up on the MOB for recovery. It's absolutely reasonable given a general case. Heave to and turn on the engine is just more practical. People do die when they fall off boats. One of the biggest problems is unless you know where they are, a head in the water can be very difficult to spot, even if they're waving. One important MOB practice is to immediately throw everything on hand that floats into the water. This is not just for the MOB to use for flotation but to create a debris field that is easier to spot. (I used to ocean swim. We'd get on the beach and then look to see others swimming around the last pier. So they were 100 150 yards out. We knew they were there, and where to look for them, They were still difficult to spot and easy to lose.) I wasn't even taught how to heave to. I'd read about it. Seemed simple enough. Added it to my To Try list. One day solo on a 28 foot charter I tried to go pee in the head -- impossible. So I went back up top. How do you heave to...? Turn into the wind until your jib backs. Everything just stopped. Easy. And in a monohull, you can just turn the wheel and wait and the boat will slowly turn around pick up enough speed that you can steer right back onto your course. You don't have to change the sails. On catamarans it doesn't seem to work like this. We always had to turn on an engine. When I was qualifying with a good instructor, he brought along a friend, not a sailor. This fellow was to be my spotter. (My center cockpit boat is high off the water so visibility to something in the water at the bow is poor.) He had no spatial sense. Everything was '50 feet' he didn't point in any effective way. I'd line up for a starboard recovery, but the float would always be on the port side. I finally ignored him and recovered my float. Heave to, engine on. And Life Sling. This is a tethered float on a long line, that sits in a plastic 'box' near the stern. "Man overboard!" Toss the float, heave to, which also turns the boat. The way the Life Sling works is: you sail a circle around the MOB, the floating line of the Life Sling wraps around them, they grab on. I'd suggest making a better video. It's needed.

makes a lot more sense than the figure 8 technique they taught me... which is better for making sure that the crew can actually manuver a boat. but it depends on what course you are on when someone falls off. if you are sailing to windward, this would be perfect. if you are on a run, you'll already be down wind of them before you realize.... but i think it would still be a good first move. stop the boat as much as possible, before you get far from the MOB and you have a chance to think about what to do next

Excellent job! A few questions... How many reefs does your main have? And do all reefing lines run to your cockpit? Do you have some type of line to aid in dropping the main? We have a Westsail 43. The only lines we have in the cockpit in relation to the main are the mainsheet and the traveler adjustment lines. We have to go to the mast to adjust the reef lines, outhaul, main halyard. And someone has to pull down on the sail in the tracks to get it to drop.

@OranTeach 10 күн бұрын

Hey, I'm a sailing instructor teaching on different boats every week, We have boats with all type of reefing techniques, this one has 1 line that pulls both on the clew and the tack of the sail all from the cockpit, some boats have two lines one for the clew one for the tack, and some boats have a ring that you attach from the mast and a line to pull on the new clew, but i think you always need a line to pull on the new tack, do you have a line like that?

@flygringo 10 күн бұрын

@OranTeach ours has 3 reefs, each with their own line to the clews. We just hauled out and packed everything away so I'm not able to check right now. But I believe there are rings on the tack. We rarely are in conditions needing a reef, but when we do, our process has been to adjust the sail height to the reef point, secure the clew line, then run short lines through the 4 or 5 grommets in the sail between the clew and the tack and wrap the lines around the boom. This takes around 10 minutes. So when I saw your video of it taking less than a minute and all done from the cockpit, I was mesmerized

@sv_wavedancer 13 күн бұрын

Great to see this in a video, good job ! We are all taught to sail back using various methods but STOPPING the boat is the priority and heaving too immediately is what we practice 👌⛵️

Ah springs are always an interesting discussion. I tend to favor a triangular forward spring. One end of the line fixed at midship (like in the video), and one end loosely tied at the stern, or reverse, having the line looser at midship (around a winch even) , and fixed at stern. Then , you throw it around the cleat and pull in some slack at the looser end. The person at the looser end does not have to tie off fully , but can hold it until the manoeuvre is fully ended. By holding the line, the person at the looser end can give line a bit as well if needed. This triangulation will prevent the stern from suddenly swinging out (and the bow from swinging in !! ) when the line catches. 26:52 It is also useful when docking stern-to in windy situations. Too often I see crew members losing time in the marina being clumpsy with lines. You tie off midships, and throw the line to dock. The marina person pulls the line through the ring, and gives it back. Your crew member at the stern simply ties of at the stern as usual. As a captain, I feel much more comfortable with a triangular setup at windward side in these situations. With a bit of forward trust, you'll be stable and remain perpendicular to the dock. As as soon as your're fully docked, you slowly release the stern line and pull in the line (which goes from midship to the ring) over the stern cleat. Of course, if you do not have a neighbour , you can leave it as-is. Same applies when leaving the dock in a heavy crosswind and a neighbour at leeward side. You''ll stay well cleared from your neighbour with this triangulatr setup. and a bit of forward trust. You can slowly release your line at stern, nudging your way forward away from the dock, until your neigbour's bow is almost midship. Then stop trust, release the stern line and pull it. Same here, you can wrap the midship end of the line around the winch as well at the helm. This way, you'll be much faster pulling in the line aboard than pulling it in hand over hand. I made this playlist with 6 videos on triangulation : kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWnapHmKpcSDg6c The last 4 video's are in German, but search for the word "Kräftedreieck", This translates in English to "force triangle". Thanks for the video. Always excited seeing honest content like this. Cheers to the students as well, especially with all the forces at play.

Messed up the spring one. With a cat with that setup not impressed. If you have the spring on already, you use both engines to parallel the boat to the dock and go very slowly forward. Poor for a demo video.

You my friend, are a horrible teacher and not very knowledgeable with docking a catamaran. You are just getting lucky and winging it. One of these days, you are going to cause damages and put lives at risk. You need to work on your line handling skills as well. After spring line should've tend forward on the midship cleat. Let's get back to the drawing board and get the fundamentals down before we attempt to teach others.
