This is a worthy, large read at 27 pages. I will have to do it in peaces.

Thanks to Brian for locating it and providing it here.

PS my reply does not show an address. I assume it is to the group and not just to Brian who posted the document.

Boats, Safety, Seamanship / CASE HISTORIES OF CREW OVERBOARD

I ran across this document from US Sailing Safety At Sea Studies on the National USPS website.  It provides some great background information for running a MOB drill. Here is the link to the original and I also attached a copy if you want to download it.:

Boating Maintenance & Technology / Mast raising for large trailerable boats
« Last post by RonS on December 27, 2012, 09:31:09 PM »
Some years ago the Squadron had a hands-on seminar covering mast raising. That resulted in a PDF writeup with photos of some members in action. The keys to the process are:
1)  a gin pole to pull at the proper angle
2)  a 4-part tackle and jib winch to provide the force
3)  adequate guys to stabilize the mast and gin pole at all mast angles from flat to upright.

The seminar writeup is attached.
