pinky.Attended a really cool Rescue Swimmer training yesterday where we learned how to rig up a system of lines and snatches to haul 2 people (one #manOverboard and the other the #certifiedRescueSwimmer. I learned a ton from Capt John Schafer and Capt Paul the Pirate. šš§š¤āµļøš #sailing #sailingSafety #boaterSafety
Mike Jš¹š š¤š»@pinky Sounds cool. There was a recent race here with many people overboard and it took forever to get them all back on. Came close to being a tragedy.

@mikej wow. There are so many lessons to learn from this event, and many of the points are covered in the #certifiedRescueSwimmer training (yeah shameless plug for my buddy). Everything from proper PFD fitting to best practices on sending someone into the water to recover a MOB. Thanks for sharing this. āµļøāš¤
@pinky There was a follow up story that I hadn't seen until today. From the crew who did the rescue: https://48north.com/racing/view-from-the-rescuing-boat-lessons-from-rescuing-three-overboard-sailors-during-the-blakely-rock-benefit-race/
