Crew Overboard Prevention

Andy Schell and Nikki Henderson talks MOB this week! This is the first half of the discussion on the bigger topic of people falling overboard. So before we discuss how to rescue anyone, it seems sensible to first discuss how to stop them from falling in in the first place.

Of course we have not got full control onboard of anyone or anything so cannot claim to have a foolproof way for ensuring the crew stay on the boat. Saying that though, there are lots of means at our disposal --> standing orders, safety harnesses, crew culture, jackstays, D-rings -- to influence how likely or not it is that they fall in the water.

So join us to discuss what we have learnt works and doesn't work for keeping your crew onboard - with of course a fair share of stories to add colour to the session.
