Re: Prevention
Tome
If you read the posts, I was suggesting that Mirelle had already given up. A floatation suit is very often used by fishermen but not by yachties. It can be a single or two piece suit which, apart from giving floatation also gives protection against cold water. If he believes that his crew can not recover him from the water then he should consider "surviving" until outside help arrives.
I would also add that once overboard there is no "racing certainty" that you would be rescued? That is why the CG take the problem so seriously.
