145

151
Q

MOB Figure Eight

A
  1. Flotation.
  2. Spotter.
    2a. Crew prepares retrieval line.
  3. Beam reach away from MOB, Tack into the wind, keep turning back across original path on a broad reach, then turn up into wind to a close reach heading to MOB.
  4. Keep MOB on the leeward side of boat, luffing sails to slow/stop boat.
  5. IMMEDIATE priority is rope onto MOB. Bowline around torso. Do not allow MOB or boat to drift away, as more manuevering too costly.
  6. Turn too wind. Ignore chaos of sails. Priority is getting MOB aboard.
152
Q

A
  1. Flotation
  2. Spotter
    2a. Crew prepares retrieval line
  3. Fall off to a Broad Reach, sail away 3 or 4 boat lengths. Then, head up and tack to a close reach toward MOB.
153
Q

Considerations and methods of recovering MOB

A
  1. Consider condition of MOB and ability to help himself
  2. Methods
    a. Swim ladder or step
    b. Pure muscle
    c. Winch
154
Q

Treating hypothermia

A
  1. Get person out of cold
  2. Remove wet clothes and dry off.
  3. New clothes or just a blanket
  4. Focus on rewarming core first, extremities later
  5. Huddle to share body heat
  6. Head to shore
  7. If conscious, small sips of tepid water –> warm tea/broth –> hot tea/broth. Never alcohol.
155
