excellent sermon captaina
I too have jumped in the sea a few times, altho i have done it as a surprise for crews who say yeah, i'm totally 100% about recovering an MOB
If the person is conscious ... er what's with the halyard thing? You put down a swim ladder and they climb up?
Any system shd be good enuf to be launched without taking eyes off the target.
I have 80m floating line, protected from the sun, chuck it out, drive around them, they'll get it.
I don't think you sissy.... but I am not at all sure that being clipped on to the boat is invariably the safest option. Sound like it is of course.

More MOB!
TCM...if the casualty has been in the sea for a while and/or they are cold, they may well be too exhausted to climb up a swim ladder; further, in a heavy sea that could be unsafe.
Love your idea of 80m floating line...! Excellent!

I'm a Jon Buoy type of chap (no funny comments please).
Mind you it's only half the problem.
You are safe in the JB but how will you get or be got on board.

No. Centre sheets can work depending on the how the traveller block is attached i.e. removable or integral with the car. There could be advantages around centre sheets regarding lifting point position to the beam, topping lift use, boom control.

A parbuckle such as the old Tribuckle works very well. If pre-adjusted to the stanchion spacings at your chosen rescue position, it is quick and easy to set up and use.
