Some interesting data Sorry for sending it in instalments Marek From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dr. Mark Bodnar via CnC-List Sent: September-17-15 21:53 To: [email protected] Cc: Dr. Mark Bodnar Subject: Stus-List Reboarding - was Re: - Inflable life jacket - inflation I've read a lot about people being unable to climb back aboard a boat (never experienced the issue on anything bigger than an Albacore). One recommendation I'm looking to try - a triangular section of fabric (I'm thinking the head off an old jib) - shackle the bottom corners to the toe rail and attach the head to a halyard Get the overboard crew to lay in the hollow of the sail as it bags down and then winch the halyard. You automatically get a 2-1 advantage by pulling up only one end in addition to using gear that is already set on the boat. Plus the person is already lying down in the sail and will roll right back in under the lifelines rather than having to winch them up overtop. I think my current jib is ready to retire - and maybe this is a perfect use for the head of the sail. Interested to hear thoughts from people who have actually tried different techniques. I've yet to do MOB drills - it's in the plan, but never seems to fit the day. Mark
