There was a well publicized case of a family sailing an F27 on the Potomac.
One child fell overboard, and both parents jumped in after it, leaving the boat
flying away with two other small children on board. Fortunately, someone on
shore saw what happened and all were rescued. After reading that, my wife and I
discussed how we would handle such emergencies.

If it were my kids I'd most likely do something stupid; I'd dump
the PFD and swim like hell for the boat. No way in hell would I let
them get away! Course I could end up dying trying that trick, but
when it's my kids logic flies out the window!
