The topic on tethers got me looking on the Internet for safety information and I found this interesting technique which could work well on our boats. It does require the MOB to be aware and able to help. Might be worth having a readily available line prepared for this.

"An innovative system for getting a person in the water back aboard quickly and easily has been developed by the Modern Sailing Academy. Called The Elevator, all that is required is a length of genoa sheet, led aft around a stern cleat and then forward outside the lifelines to a cockpit winch, leaving enough line hanging down for the victim to get his feet on it. Once the victim is balanced on the sheet, the sheet is cranked in and the victim is elevated to deck
level."


We cannot direct the winds but we can adjust our sails.

Another method I've seen used is to drop the mainsail, remove the traveler end of the mainsheet and hook a sling to it. Then push the boom out and have the MOB get into, or hang onto the sling. Now you can hoist them up with the mainsheet and swing them over onto the deck.
