conditions will determine the actual method of approach and recovery.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Actions in bold are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Alert the whole crew with the shout \u2018man overboard\u2019. Skipper takes charge.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Someone to continually watch person in water and (if not the cox) provide<\/strong>
directions by arm signals and shouted distance.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n- Radio shore with message \u2018. . . this is (boat name). Have man overboard,<\/strong>
standby, over.\u2019<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n- Get back to the casualty as quickly as possible<\/strong> and, if safer to do so, manoeuvre
boat to approach casualty from downwind. Rowers at Bow and No2 maintain the boat
head to wind\/sea while other crew bring casualty to midships and carry out the
rescue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Inflate casualty\u2019s lifejacket, if not already inflated. Do not rely on the casualty being
able to hold onto the boat or do anything to assist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Either: lower the leeward gunnel using crew weight to balance the boat and roll the
casualty aboard or bring their legs over the gunnel and pull casualty\u2019s arms to bring
them aboard (avoiding letting their head go underwater). ( Note: in a heavy sea\/gusty
wind, this exposes the hull with a risk of capsize.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Or: (with lifejacket inflated) use the lifting strop and the buoyancy of the lifejacket, to
\u2018bounce\u2019 them onto the gunnel with their back to you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- If it is not possible, or not safe to recover the casualty, make sure they are secured to
the boat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Radio for assistance or update the shore on progress.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Casualty should be assessed for injury, degree of shock, or hypothermia and kept
warm and out of the wind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Decide on the quickest way to get casualty ashore and if an ambulance is required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
