Do you know what to do if a crew member falls overboard? Do you think you could get them back on deck?
Jonty and Carol Pearce, who were featured in an article in Yachting Monthly this summer on ‘How an 8st woman can recover a 20st man’ have been invited to a man overboard seminar held by the Cruising Association.
The one-day seminar, being held at CA House in Limehouse Basin on November 7, is aimed particularly at cruising couples.
