I really disagree with this process. I believe some people will die if they follow this process. A simple crash tack will bring a sailing vessel upwind of the mob and immediately into irons, or at least halt the vessel from leaving the scene further. Easing the headsail for sailing back to the mob or stay in irons and allow the mob to swim to the vessel as it drifts down upon them. Some sailing yachts require a lot of time to drop sails. Starting your engine in an emergency might just pick up a rope causing the vessel to be disabled itself, making matters exponentially worse. A solution that works both in calm seas or offshore in 50knots works best in my mind. Yachtmaster Offshore with approx 30,000hrs give or take. Practice and tell me I'm wrong or right.

Getting the unconscious 100kg mob back in strikes me as the harder part of the rescue. Especially as it's probably only me on board. I've tried using a spare main halyard to winch them in, but it really needs two people. Rescue sling?

The racism destroyed this whole video for me.

Crew overboard? Do you have a video for Man Overboard like the title of the video?

You cover a whole about sailing and safety, you should make videos and sale it too.
Terminology, sail and mast type, wind formation,tools must have and etc. I hope so!
Thank you for your gift of knowledge and sharing
experiences.

I am occasional, amateur skipper (mostly inland day sailing). I sometimes take on inexperienced crew. I found that running a bit of training before taking off and doing one or couple man overboard drills goes a long way relieving tension, feeling them safer and setting them to have fun time. And I admit, the same goes for me -- every successful man overboard drill gives me that little important boost of confidence.
As to Pepe, for him to behave a little more realistically I tie to him 5L jug filled with sand and water. People in water cannot be taken on board while traveling at any speed. I also don't take most easy to spot thing so that people get how important it is to keep the eye on the person.
As to starting the engine, I think you always have to start the engine but frequently it is much faster to complete the manoeuvre under sail. Especially if you have a puny overboard engine like I have that sometimes isn't enough to overcome the wind. If I trust the crew to drop the sail quickly at exact point I need them I will assign one person to start the engine but otherwise complete the manoeuvre under sail. If I am not sure of the crew I will get one tack done at a distance that will give me a bit of time for them to drop the sail and I will complete it using just the engine.
I would also complete it using just the engine if I have very small crew so that I have somebody ready to receive man over board and not busy with handling the sail (remember, I am steering, somebody is an Eye, somebody is starting/handling the engine, two people are needed to handle sails effectively... that's already quite resource intensive operation).
As to recovering at the beam -- on most boats of that size it is impossible to recover an actual human at the beam. And not sure what that boathook is supposed to accomplish. Use it as a harpoon so the person can't swim away? I would be worried to have a crew member to wave a hook close to a person in the water because of possibility for injury and because it is not entirely clear what to do afterwards. Additionally, if there is any SNAFU with sails, the bow might not be a safe place to be in in the first place. I think the training should reflect a realistic situation as much as possible and the crew should know how to take on a realistic person and on that kind of yacht it will inevitably happen at the stern.
Another reason to do it at the stern is that I, the skipper, have perfect view of what is happening and that makes it easier to make decisions and/or directly help with the effort.

I have taught ASA Classes for several years at several ASA affiliate schools, and taught US/Sailing at one school. I have taught the FIgure-8, BRCR, and Quickstop methods at all of them. The secret that few instructors divulge is that COB drills are really about learning boat handling. This video presents the most accurate instruction of how to handle a real COB situation.

When I teach COB, I tell students that we are going to pretend that there is no working engine aboard. However, I also tell them that if this were a REAL COB, and you have inexperienced sailors aboard, start the engine and drop the sails. Stop the engine when you have made contact with the COB and are about to begin retrieval.

Sailing 4-5 boat lengths away from the COB, tacking, steering 2 boat lengths to windward of the COB, crossing your wake, and then turning to windward, as in the Figure-8, takes too much time. If you miss the COB on your first attempt, then you have to sail around again, and that takes more time. Time is something that you do not have in an emergency.

Thank you for this video!

Learn how to Sail: "turn on your engine and get down your sails as fast as possible".

LOL the comments… if it was racist they would have let Pedro drown! PS. Hispanic is not a race!
