How pedantic are Yachtmaster examiners about the method used for MOB.
Me and my wife prefer the drift-on method, but I hear examiners want to see another method that just won't work for us. It involves too much unnecessary F.... A... with sails for my wife to single hand if I go in. Also, any method that involves sailing up to a MOB is prone to risk as, on our boat, neither of us can see the MOB over the high bow. Drift-up solves this problem and it's typically much faster than other methods.
