What's your vote for the stern retrieval, three part tackle or line
coiled and ready to be led to a sheet winch?


For a stern retrieval? Hmmm... it would have to be very calm
conditions for me to try it. That said, you have the backstay, I
would have some line handy. Of course, if the person is unable to
help, you'll have trouble with that method.



In our AP calss they showed us how to tie a 'bowline on a bight' to
help retrieve a man overboard. Hopefully you could slip both legs
through the double loups and hang on.

If he's hanging onto the toerail for dear life, it would be necessary for
you to jump in alongside him to get his legs thru the bowline loops. Then
somone would have to do the same for you. Good practice though!
