Abstract
- The article recounts the experience of a crew participating in the Round the Island Race. The crew encountered challenging weather conditions, including 3-4m waves and 45mph gusts, which resulted in a man overboard situation. The crew successfully rescued the man after multiple attempts, using a heavy mooring warp as a throwing line. The article emphasizes the importance of preparedness, experience, and improvisation in handling such situations. It also highlights the need for caution when using self-inflating lifejackets in rough conditions. The crew's calm and effective response, despite the skipper breaking his leg, contributed to a successful rescue. [Extracted from the article]
