In this episode we look at an MOB incident in the 2024 Round the Island Race in which a crew of five were inundated by a following sea off St. Catherine’s Point, UK resulting in one tethered MOB, one MOB 15m (45ft) clear of the vessel and with only a short distance to a lee shore... Oh and the skipper broke his leg in the knock down as well! Both MOB’s were recovered without injury, but there is a lot to consider as I give a hot take on the actions taken by the crew, and how things turned out. I’ll be sharing insights as a professional sailor, examining what went right, what went wrong, and the crucial lessons we can carry forward.  If you like joining me for these deep dives on topic’s like: MOB recovery, heavy weather tactics & offshore seamanship please consider supporting the production of this material over on Patreon where for $5 a month you can get access to extra content, including: livestream Q&A’s, free project consultancy and exclusive sailing trips on my GM80 ’Osprey’.
