Description: The most serious danger that we face when cruising on a sailing boat is falling overboard. This risk is probably
at its greatest when we are on a pitching foredeck, perhaps during a dark and windy night, wrestling with a flapping sail that
needs to come down. People persist in working on deck when it is possible to arrange all sailhandling to be done from the
safety of the cockpit. When all the sails can be easily handled without anybody going on deck, the crew are less likely to
get wet and tired, or fall overboard, and more likely to enjoy themselves. We are supposed to go sailing for pleasure!
The moment one leaves the cockpit to go on deck, the risk of falling overboard is greatly increased, and once over the
side, the chances of recovery are frighteningly small.
One piece of equipment that might well help in this type of situation would be some form of self steering. This used to
be considered as gear required only for transocean passages, yet some form of self steering can make life so much easier
aboard any boat, even one undertaking only modest coastal passages.
