The motion of the vessel in bad weather can pose additional
risks, threatening to crush a person as the boat is tossed by wave


Exactly the point of not bringing them to the stern.


Jonathan, I'm not the author of those comments. They're from my Colgate
book. The bottom line illustrated by the rescue is that they found a
workable solution. The boat may have been rolling or other problems or
perhaps they could not get the divers to drop their gear (which was in
fact the case). You do what works and a swim platform, while not the
best first method, does offer yet another rescue option.

Come on guys, throw the guy a line, bring him aboard where it's easiest.
Probably on the scoop/swim platform on this boat. Certainly not on my
double ender.

Shove the colgate book.

Super Duper Pooper Scooper

The perfect name and class for Swabbies boat............... SDPS 1.

As an engineer Doug would comfirm.

No. That would have to be SDPS II.

Why, what's SDPS really mean?

That's the truth...... for me it would be aft of abeam alongside the
cockpit coaming... I can snap on a block&tackle to my boom and raise even
500lbs out of the water with little to no effort.

That's a good plan, but first contact with the MOB should ideally be
at the beam, then you can move them where you need to...is that where
you would make first contact with the people in the water?

Allow me to enlighten you... since it seems I've noticed that being a
"licensed" Captain means very little in your neck of the water..

Visual Contact first

Manoeuvring to close safely

Floating Device to Victim if situation allows

Where you actually undertake the initial physical contact for removal is
dependent on vessel design and sea state conditions. Abeam with the vessel
on the lee in a full keel boat. I might consider abeam with bow to the
wind/wave in a fin keeler

Actual removal of a victim from the water on my vessel would be ... as I
stated clearly.. tackled from aft of abeam in the lee, along the cockpit
coaming using a system I have designed and practiced with for that purpose.

You didn't answer my quesiton. Where is your first contact with the MOB?
Beam?

Clearly, you can try to insult me all you want, but it would be nice if you
could answer my question if you're able.
