A crew member fell overboard during the Skagen Race after a lifeline failed while he was working on the foredeck to set a spinnaker.1:54 The sailor leaned against the lifeline to reach a halyard, but the wire snapped at a shackle hidden beneath tape, causing him to fall into the 10–11 degree Celsius water.9:51 Although he wore an inflatable life vest, it failed to deploy because the CO2 cartridge had loosened over time.7:07 The boat’s helmsman immediately eased all sails to stop the vessel’s forward momentum and prevent the propeller from engaging.3:42 The overboard sailor struggled to stay afloat while fully clothed and eventually climbed back aboard using a long, fold-out boarding ladder deployed by the helmsman.3:33 The crew subsequently retired from the race due to the sailor’s finger injury and exhaustion.6:08 The incident highlights the necessity of inspecting lifelines beneath tape, ensuring life vest cartridges are secured with tape or locking mechanisms, and minimizing time on the foredeck by rerouting sail controls to the cockpit.10:11
