From Pathfinder Wiki

There are two ways generally understood to bring the boat back to pick up the MOB.

  • Either tack or jibe the boat around as quickly as possible and approach the MOB on a close reach to his leeward (downwind) side. Approaching from the leeward side avoids the danger of having the wind push the boat into or over the MOB.

Tack to recover man overboard.
