The MOB Method You Didn't Know: Heave To for Quick Recovery
Heave to MOB, to execute this perfectly you need to have a good feel for the boat but the general rule is once you had a MOB turn engines and sail a lil bit downwind to tack and be a lil bit windward above the MOB and then use engines to slow your fwd momentum so you have more of a push from your the wind towards the MOB, when you have contact you just keep the boat in the heave to position and go figure out how to get the MOB back safely, this is a really good initial response even if it doesn’t work, keeps you close to the MOB and lets you think for a sec.
Go ahead and try this with your boat, you might found the fastest MOB under sail and engines.
If you did try it before I would like to...

Dinghy Disaster: How I Almost Lost My Life While Sailing
Now to make it even easier, look up jiggler syphon. Its what i have on my boat.
I really liked it. Looks like a real / actual situation. Many videos are made in perfect (no wind, no swell, lots of room, many helping hands) situations, this was done in a difficult environment. Really appreciate expressing and sharing the real / actual situations. There is no competition here, just to learn from and really thankful for taking time and energy for your work and sharing this. I really enjoy such kind of videos (docking, anchoring, motoring, reefing, navigating, route planning, maintenance / repair, hacks, etc) from real and challenging situations / environment. To me this video was really valuable, really thankful and wishing you all the best.
subtitles with the flashing word highlight made it pain to watch -> Didn't watch
good video, I liked to see both engines and how the boat behaves. Would be also nice to see catamaran tricks when using also the rudders with dual engines
Very confusing video. I wouldn't want to have an instructor like that. Sorry.
If you're learning choose another video 😂🤣😂
love your content on instagram and youtube. could't agree more on the positive effects of sailing!
Ha ha, good one. If in doubt, throw it all out, lol We went from a plough anchor as it did just that. We now have a mantus M2. What a difference.
I think 1
The SF bowline is so beautiful, it moved me to tears. ❤
i was on this dock last season, just a quick stop to dump trash and fill some dinghy gas, wind was light but surge was similar to this day. so exposed i thought my cleats were gonna snap off the boat, I got outa there as soon as possible
If is a cat that doesn't mean not to use rudders at all
You call it shitshow (btw. I like the expression to). I used to call it "Murphy's law" - what ever can go wrong, will go wrong! Better be prepared! 😂👍
Thanks bro! 😂 I know 15 different bowlines, I know 5 different tricks to tie a standard bowline, but your trick was completely new to me. 👍👏🤣
Your gear boxes won't last very long using them like that
When we were visiting last winter, we arrived on a red flag day. It was super easy for us to sail north less than 2nm, grab a transient slip in the harbor in Spanish Town and take a taxi down to the baths. It costs a bit more than a mooring, but it's zero stress, and it's a beautiful hike down from the ticket office.
It’s a great method once you know your boat well enough to be able to heave to at just the right moment to come to a halt at the right spot to drift down onto the casualty. The engine can help a bit but in windy conditions it won’t be enough to counter the power in the sails. My suggestion is that you try this as a first attempt if you are sailing upwind at the time. You can send a mayday, prepare a lasso line, get the engine on, mark the MOB on the plotter, throw a line, … and by this time you will know if you are going to reach the casualty. If it doesn’t work you are very close and can furl the jib for your standard figure of 8 method.
Better than geography class 😊
Love the lesson. Not sure about the Scooby Doo font! ; )
Make it a condition that everyone on board wears a safety line and uses it
I always thought it would be a good idea to have a ring out a 100 yrd behind the boat at all times just in case. Maybe the man can catch it maybe not, depends but still makes sense. Cruise ships should do it as well.
Why use cleat hitch when there is OXO ? If you like it more complex and inconvenient but "looking" more secure? then use cleat hitch. If you value good seamanship - OXO. Ever tried to untie cleat hitch with one hand in a hurry? good luck with that great knot
This is what John Kretchmer and several other sailors I know also advises. Heave to and turn on the engine. It seems pretty obvious to everyone except boards that decide what beginning sailing lessons should include. These assume no engine, but also quick recovery. They also assume one person on board who needs a bit of distance to spot and line up on the MOB for recovery. It's absolutely reasonable given a general case. Heave to and turn on the engine is just more practical. People do die when they fall off boats. One of the biggest problems is unless you know where they are, a head in the water can be very difficult to spot, even if they're waving. One important MOB practice is to immediately throw everything on hand that floats into the water. This is not just for the MOB to use for flotation but to create a debris field that is easier to spot. (I used to ocean swim. We'd get on the beach and then look to see others swimming around the last pier. So they were 100 150 yards out. We knew they were there, and where to look for them, They were still difficult to spot and easy to lose.) I wasn't even taught how to heave to. I'd read about it. Seemed simple enough. Added it to my To Try list. One day solo on a 28 foot charter I tried to go pee in the head -- impossible. So I went back up top. How do you heave to...? Turn into the wind until your jib backs. Everything just stopped. Easy. And in a monohull, you can just turn the wheel and wait and the boat will slowly turn around pick up enough speed that you can steer right back onto your course. You don't have to change the sails. On catamarans it doesn't seem to work like this. We always had to turn on an engine. When I was qualifying with a good instructor, he brought along a friend, not a sailor. This fellow was to be my spotter. (My center cockpit boat is high off the water so visibility to something in the water at the bow is poor.) He had no spatial sense. Everything was '50 feet' he didn't point in any effective way. I'd line up for a starboard recovery, but the float would always be on the port side. I finally ignored him and recovered my float. Heave to, engine on. And Life Sling. This is a tethered float on a long line, that sits in a plastic 'box' near the stern. "Man overboard!" Toss the float, heave to, which also turns the boat. The way the Life Sling works is: you sail a circle around the MOB, the floating line of the Life Sling wraps around them, they grab on. I'd suggest making a better video. It's needed.
makes a lot more sense than the figure 8 technique they taught me... which is better for making sure that the crew can actually manuver a boat. but it depends on what course you are on when someone falls off. if you are sailing to windward, this would be perfect. if you are on a run, you'll already be down wind of them before you realize.... but i think it would still be a good first move. stop the boat as much as possible, before you get far from the MOB and you have a chance to think about what to do next
Yea both are important to learn, Even if you go downwind you can use the engine to come back up and be positioned perfectly 💪
Bang on ! 100% 👌⛵️
Unimpressed. You sounded and acted like you were making it up as you went along.
Sometimes we make it up as we go, conditions change 🤟🏼 Appreciate the feedback ❤️
Would have been nice to see the action taken on the helm, rather than just the result... Maybe next time let a competent bystander hold the camera.
Just upload a more detailed video on the matter, It's shot during a sailing course, i want the student to focus on the explanation not filming me.
what do you do if a woman goes overboard?
Excellent point !
[sarcastic] If you are American and it is your wife, you should first consider how much a divorce would cost.... If you are not married to the woman, you can proceed as shown.
I don't believe in genders, only in number of rudders.
Depends if she’s a neo feminist or not… 🤨

Excellent job! A few questions... How many reefs does your main have? And do all reefing lines run to your cockpit? Do you have some type of line to aid in dropping the main? We have a Westsail 43. The only lines we have in the cockpit in relation to the main are the mainsheet and the traveler adjustment lines. We have to go to the mast to adjust the reef lines, outhaul, main halyard. And someone has to pull down on the sail in the tracks to get it to drop.
Hey, I'm a sailing instructor teaching on different boats every week, We have boats with all type of reefing techniques, this one has 1 line that pulls both on the clew and the tack of the sail all from the cockpit, some boats have two lines one for the clew one for the tack, and some boats have a ring that you attach from the mast and a line to pull on the new clew, but i think you always need a line to pull on the new tack, do you have a line like that?
@OranTeach ours has 3 reefs, each with their own line to the clews. We just hauled out and packed everything away so I'm not able to check right now. But I believe there are rings on the tack. We rarely are in conditions needing a reef, but when we do, our process has been to adjust the sail height to the reef point, secure the clew line, then run short lines through the 4 or 5 grommets in the sail between the clew and the tack and wrap the lines around the boom. This takes around 10 minutes. So when I saw your video of it taking less than a minute and all done from the cockpit, I was mesmerized
Great to see this in a video, good job ! We are all taught to sail back using various methods but STOPPING the boat is the priority and heaving too immediately is what we practice 👌⛵️
I agree, in the end we do what we believe is the safest. I just uploaded a video with more detailed explanations.
Great story, nice de-briefing. Thank you.
Ah springs are always an interesting discussion. I tend to favor a triangular forward spring. One end of the line fixed at midship (like in the video), and one end loosely tied at the stern, or reverse, having the line looser at midship (around a winch even) , and fixed at stern. Then , you throw it around the cleat and pull in some slack at the looser end. The person at the looser end does not have to tie off fully , but can hold it until the manoeuvre is fully ended. By holding the line, the person at the looser end can give line a bit as well if needed. This triangulation will prevent the stern from suddenly swinging out (and the bow from swinging in !! ) when the line catches. 26:52 It is also useful when docking stern-to in windy situations. Too often I see crew members losing time in the marina being clumpsy with lines. You tie off midships, and throw the line to dock. The marina person pulls the line through the ring, and gives it back. Your crew member at the stern simply ties of at the stern as usual. As a captain, I feel much more comfortable with a triangular setup at windward side in these situations. With a bit of forward trust, you'll be stable and remain perpendicular to the dock. As as soon as your're fully docked, you slowly release the stern line and pull in the line (which goes from midship to the ring) over the stern cleat. Of course, if you do not have a neighbour , you can leave it as-is. Same applies when leaving the dock in a heavy crosswind and a neighbour at leeward side. You''ll stay well cleared from your neighbour with this triangulatr setup. and a bit of forward trust. You can slowly release your line at stern, nudging your way forward away from the dock, until your neigbour's bow is almost midship. Then stop trust, release the stern line and pull it. Same here, you can wrap the midship end of the line around the winch as well at the helm. This way, you'll be much faster pulling in the line aboard than pulling it in hand over hand. I made this playlist with 6 videos on triangulation : ruclips.net/video/k8wsFTp_PME/видео.html The last 4 video's are in German, but search for the word "Kräftedreieck", This translates in English to "force triangle". Thanks for the video. Always excited seeing honest content like this. Cheers to the students as well, especially with all the forces at play.
thank you steven ! thats an amazing tip, and thanks for teaching me german haha Fair winds brother 🤟🏼
Easy
Messed up the spring one. With a cat with that setup not impressed. If you have the spring on already, you use both engines to parallel the boat to the dock and go very slowly forward. Poor for a demo video.
Yup sometimes we try stuff and mess up, better to have had that spring on stern.
Nice. good luck with your RUclips channel.
Top super
“Try not to die “ 😂😂😂
You my friend, are a horrible teacher and not very knowledgeable with docking a catamaran. You are just getting lucky and winging it. One of these days, you are going to cause damages and put lives at risk. You need to work on your line handling skills as well. After spring line should've tend forward on the midship cleat. Let's get back to the drawing board and get the fundamentals down before we attempt to teach others.
You should support Palestine
Well said. And ultimately losing one day at the Baths is better than losing the rest of your vacation or, worse yet, your life.

Gotta love it 🤙
interesting ! 😮 to be honest though I've barely sailed in my life I've always wondered how you get an anchor to _"stick"_ on soft sands , and to my non-sailor-ly eyes it's like paralel parking : lots of moves and shifts until you get it righ and snuggly 😅
Yea pretty much like that 🥲
Thank you for posting this, I have no need for this knowledge.
