MOB Prevention & Recovery

Despite recent advances in safety equipment, sailors are still falling overboard. As Practical Sailors recent tests and investigative reports have shown, some widely promoted advice regarding harnesses, tethers, and jacklines can be misleading. Likewise, many books on seamanship continue to ignore the latest recommendations in man-overboard recovery drills.

That’s why having the proper equipment, and knowing the right way to use it is essential.

With this new e-book from Practical Sailor, you’ll be fully prepared to avert-or respond to-MOB situations by learning about the necessary gear and proven recovery procedures.
