Man Overboard - Sailing Back

The second half of the impromptu MOB drill. At this point we've made the turn to pick up my wife and son, and we're in the process of dumping sail so we can turn into the wind to get them back on board.

You can really see the poor shape on the main in this shot. I'm eager to see it with proper batten tension.

The P-Cat has a lot more momentum than the Prindle 16 I used to own. With the P-16 you could turn on a dime and stop the boat. With the P-Cat it'll turn on a hubcap and takes some time to grind to a halt. Nonetheless, the MOB drill went great, and we got both of them back on board without problems.
