Recovering a man overboard using a Lifesling requires a systematic approach to boat handling and mechanical advantage. After tacking and heaving to, the crew should furl the jib and drop the mainsail to clear the deck and prevent lines from trailing in the water.0:33 Engaging the engine allows the boat to motor in circles around the casualty, trailing the floating line until it encircles the person in the water.1:25 While the maneuver is possible under sail, engine power provides better control in 20 knots of wind.2:00 Once the casualty secures the sling, the crew uses an 8-1 purchase rigged to the toe rail and led to a winch to hoist the person aboard.2:59 This method risks hydrostatic shock during the lift but enables rapid recovery.3:14 Operators must remain vigilant for trailing gear, such as man overboard lights, which can foul the rudder or propeller during the recovery process.3:28
