128 | Accident Investigation | MOB & Injury | Round the Island Race 2024
About this episode
This episode discusses a MOB incident during the 2024 Round the Island Race and the lessons learned from it.
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.
