Solo sailor saved by a PLB

Does anyone know if any of the sea survival course will practice a tethered MOB situation? I'd imagine a dangerous thing to do as a drill.

It won't, because it normally takes place in a swimming pool with no boats anywhere near.

I've done that one, useful as a start, but not quite "real world" practical enough on average. Enough to know that many sailors won't manage getting into a liferaft unassisted.

Coding for commercial use as a sailing school now requires a video to be made of recovering an unresponsive person from the water. Info from both the South Coast and West Coast of Scotland recent sailing school coding comments.
