Great job for very experienced and practiced sailors, but for most boats with one very experienced captain and usually one or a few other people with varying experience and less knowledge, paired with a little sea state, low visibility /night, white caps, this is a great way to loose someone at sea. Getting out of earshot, over 100 feet from someone, loosing sight, expecting to keep track of an imaginary disappearing line in waves, say goodbye to the person overboard. Heave to, stay close to the person, maybe you can stay close enough they can yell to you, swim to you, good chance the boat will drift down on the person. Sailing 7 boat lengths from somone who fell overboard aT night into cold water is a death sentence.

This is a great demo, but why aren't they wearing PFDs?
