Man over board (or MOB) manoevre includes all
possible measure to rescue the person fallen over
board from a vessel. The manouvre has to be exe-
cuted instantly and has the first priority. This ma -
nouvre is a fundamental part of good seamanship
and has to be trained with every new boat and
crew.
The reboarding device on the Virtess 420 is the
bathing ladder, see the position on the right hand
side drawing, it is installed on the starboard side
of the aft platform. This ladder may be deployed
from the water.
Push the button in the center of the ladder, the
ladder should then be pushed outwards by a spring. The ladder is a telescopic one.
Caution
» Stop the engines before using the ladder. Due to the suction the person at the platform may be
sucked under the platform and into the props.
» Also the pitching motion may be dangerous for a person under the platform. Be advised, that it
might be good practice to use a dinghy for a rescue activity.
» After turning the stern and disengaging the gearbox, the boat should approach the person in
the water as soon as possible. The boat best controllable if the person is approached against
the wind and current. Use the Single Turn, Williamson-Turn oder Scharnow-Turn, these are well
respected manouvres that bring the boat back to the person.
Approach from the leeward side
Approach the person so that she/he swims on the leeward side of the boat. Stop the boat in such a way that the per-
son may reach the platform aft. At any manouvre you throw a life sling with ring towards the person in the water,
the person holds on to that ring, to establish a connection between the boat and the person.
Establish a line connection
It is of utmost importance that the line connection is established so that the person fallen over board may be kept
aside, even if the boat drifts away.
9.9. Emergency plugs
In case of broken sea cocks or through hull fittings we do recommend to carry wooden or plastic emergency plugs.
Their diameters should correspond to the different sea cocks on board in order to be able to seal all possible opening
sizes.
