Working in collaboration with Eckerd College Search & Rescue, students instruct guests of the IBWSS on how to properly right a capsized vessel, also known as parbuckling.

Thank you. I do have one question regarding where the rescue boats front line attaches to the flipped boat. The rear line of the rescue boat is attached to the flipped boat’s stern cleat closest to the rescue boat, but where does the from line from the rescue boat get attached? To the flipped boat’s front cleat closest to the rescue boat? Or is it attached to the flipped boat’s front eye? Or, does it not matter since the rescue boats front line is only for pulling the flipped boat? Again, thank you for the informative video. I can’t believe there have not been any comments on this video since it was posted, over 5 years ago.

Good grief. People>property. Get the people off and safe and THEN deal with the boat.
