The Douglas hitch I think is much better for tying to a bull rail for several reasons. First, if you have long lines you, don’t have to pass the whole length of the line around the bowl rail, which is a pain when you’re trying to disembark particularly if you have a strong current or wind. It’s very quick and simple. Check it out.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/q62Bqqmvm8y_nKw.html I think this product is better. The MOB can be raised horizontally so will be physiologically more stable. A vertical lift can crash a casualties blood pressure resulting in potential cardiac arrest.

We used basically the same knot only over top instead of under and we just pulled a loop through twice rather than the whole rope

@margaretpommert4497 ай бұрын

Yes, I do the same if the line is long; I'll tie the knot on 'on a bight' rather than pulling the whole line through. I like to run the line under the bull rail and then back to the boat because I've found it makes it easier to cast off the line at departure...

@@margaretpommert449Sometimes we had to tie up to the cannery dock in Masset inlet up on Haida Gwaii and the ride rips through that narrow channel at around 15 knots. You'd get one chance to get a turn otherwise the current would yank the boat back out and you'd have to wait for another try (there would be 2 or 3 boats right behind you if you didn't make it) 😅 This is many decades ago. I'm not sure if they've changed it or if there's even a cannery there anymore.

Great Information.

I use a bowline because it is stronger and eiser to untie after at has been heavily loaded.

@margaretpommert449 Жыл бұрын

Yes, using bowline is an option. One advantage that the round-turn and 2 half hitches has over the bowline is that you can tie it under load... such as if the boat is still moving or getting blown off the dock.

Yes! Hard to beat a boat like this for 'indoor/outdoor' living, especially since we enjoyed 10 days of sunshine and perfect temperatures!

One crew, usually the one who sees the MOB first should always keep looking and pointing at the MOB as you can very easily lose sight of the MOB even in a small swell. You can also heave-to with just the mainsail and rudder in opposite direction in a catamaran. André in Sydney

You could slow the video down in the settings... but then I sound drunk 🙃. I was demonstrating how to apply this knot: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZIenw5RrppfMqKg.html

Great knot tying, but as a commercial fisherman you need be more careful on where you put your feet and hands

Thanks for the video. Great instructions. My wife and are scheduled to do a week sailing corse on a Catamaran in the sea of Cortez this December. I’m reading my study book and trying to understand Heaving-To. I learn much better watching videos and doing things hands on. I’m not to the part in the book about Man over board yet. I’m curious to see if ASA uses this technique. If you can keep your Witt’s and your headed into the wind, it seems like a quick maneuver to slow the boat and maintain controle then back away from the wind to the victim. I have had some self taught experience with a 16’ Hobbi Cat years ago. I wish I had read more about sailing. There is so much more to it than the I ever expected. I did experience that going into the wind a close haul (I didn’t know it was called that at the time) gets you the max speed! Flying a hull was the most exhilarating feeling of all!!! Thanks

apparently, she is reversing against spring line. At the same time, reversing means that prop walk is forcing stern away from dock. Nicely done!

@sailingbrewer2 жыл бұрын

I was surprised you suggested putting the sails away. Why not heavy to? This is quick and will stabilize the boat. Once the MOB is secured in the sling I'd heavy to and start retrieving the line. Any thoughts?
