− | * Rig. If leaving the boat with the mast rigged leave the boat with a little rig tension to support the mast, but not so much as to load up the boat.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | * Cover. The boat should be covered with a good top cover that shields the boat from UV radiation. If the cover has holes in it, fix it or replace it. Figure out how to support the cover so that water does not collect in it.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | * Salt. Rinse salt water off the boat, rinsing out blocks, lines and once in awhile, inside the tanks. If the tanks ever leak, you get salt in the tanks, and you will want to rinse that out from time to time.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | * Turnbuckle grease. If you have adjustable angle spreaders, lubricate the adjusters. Use turnbuckle grease. If you don't lubricate these the stainless steel threaded part will permanently bond to the aluminum, and you will not be able to adjust them ever again.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | * Inspections. From time to time complete a visual inspection of your boat. There are lots of highly loaded areas on a small sailboat. The chainplates are among them. Check where your shrouds and forestay or jib halyard attach to the hull. Watch for cracks that could let water into wooden reinforcements. Heavily loaded fasteners should be epoxied into the boat. From time to time take your centerboard out of the boat and check both centerboard and rudder for dings, cracks etc. Pay particular attention to the centerboard bolt hole. If the bolt hole has been damaged such that water can get in, wooden cored boards will soak up water, start to rot and will be weakened. Seal all bare wood with epoxy. Anytime you run aground you should check the centerboard. Inspect all lines from time to time, replace worn lines.

| | | |
− | If you see a person fall off a sailing boat, you should ''immediately'' take the following steps.
| + | {{clear}} |
− | * Shout 'Man Overboard' to alert the captain and anyone else on board.
| |
− | * Throw a life preserver or personal flotation device near the person in the water.
| |
− | :(Not directly at him, nearby, but somewhat windward (upwind) of him is best)
| |
− | * Assign a person (if available) to keep constant visual contact with the man over board (MOB). This person should try their best to keep their eyes on the MOB and know where he is in the water. This person should talk to the MOB constantly during a recovery keeping communications between the boat and the MOB. If sailing with only two people and one should fall over, the remaining person must act as both captain and contact person.
| |
| | | |
− | There are two ways generally understood to bring the boat back to pick up the MOB.
| + | {{clear}} |
− | * 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.
| |
− | [[Image:Man Overboard Tack.svg|Tack to recover man overboard.]]
| |
| | | |
− | Jibing the boat around can be quicker than tacking, but should only be done when wind conditions make jibing quickly a safe maneuver.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | [[Image:Man Overboard Jibe.svg|Jibe to recover man overboard.]]
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | * The second method is also known as a "quick stop". Tack immediately after the person has fallen overboard, and keep your jib cleated in place. The jib will turn the boat, and the captain luffs the main to allow the boat to drift toward the MOB. This method keeps the boat close to the MOB, which keeps the boat in contact with the MOB. This should not be attempted in high winds where keeping the jib cleated could cause a capsize.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | [[Image:Man Overboard Quick Stop.svg|Quick Stop to recover a man overboard.]]
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | In all three cases, if the MOB can't reach the boat as you approach, hold out a paddle for the person to grab.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | It is a good idea to practice Man Overboard maneuvers. Dropping a filled 5 gallon bucket into the water and using it as a dummy makes a pretty realistic simulation. Lifting the bucket full of water over the transom gives you an idea of how it might feel to help a waterlogged sailer back on board.

| | | |
− | Capsizing is when your boat turns over (some say when the mast is in the water). A capsized boat may be either floating with the mast and sail lying on the water, or may have "turned turtle" lying with the mast pointing downwards. Some sailing schools tie a tether ball or flotation item to the top of the mast, so if a student capsizes the boat cannot turn turle. This is a good idea for beginner sailors.

− | A keel boat with a water tight or self draining cockpit normally rights herself because of the weight of the ballast keel. A small boat on the other hand has to be righted by the crew and there are a couple of methods.

− | Capsizing isn't scary or dangerous on a fair-weather day if you know how to swim. This is the main reason for the swimming requirement before taking the sailing honour.

| | | |
− | Capsizing usually results from heeling too far or an accidental jibe. If you feel your in real danger of tipping over, '''luff the main sail at once''' (which is to let out the main sheet to allow the air to flow out of the sail). If your boat does go over on its side, stay with it, '''never swim away.''' You must do several things quickly.

− | === Solo method ===
| + | {{clear}} |
− | ==== Stand on the center board ====
| |
− | Fall down into the area between the hull and boom and swim out the back QUICKLY, ensuring you are not caught on any ropes. If the boat is very nearly turned upside down on top of you, however, then feel free to go out the side.
| |
− | As quickly as possible stand on the center board (dagger board) to prevent the boat from turning completely upside down.

− | ==== Free the sheets ====
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | Make sure that the main sheet (line that controls the main sail) is free and not secured tight in any way. Also if the boat has a jib sail, free the jib sheet as well. This will help the sails not fill with water when capsized, and not fill with air as soon as the boat is righted.

− | ==== Point boat into the wind ====
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | If possible, get back into the water and position the boat so that the bow (front) is facing the wind. This will help your righting efforts, by not having to pull the sails up against a wind.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | ==== Lean and right the boat ====
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | Get back on the center board, and holding on the gunwale or the shrouds, lean back with all of your weight. This leverage should slowly bring the boat back to an upright position.

− | === Get back in ===
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | Hang onto the boat as it rights, and crawl or slither back in over the side. The boat will probably be pretty low in the water since the cockpit will be close to full of water.

| | | |
− | ==== Bail and organize ====
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | Once upright and on board, take some time to bail out some water, untangle lines, and sort out any loose items before getting underway again.

− | On a calm day, in a protected area and with supervision, capsize your boat and right it several times to get confidence. You will be surprised how easy it will become with a little experience

− | === Entering the cockpit ===
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | As the sailors enter the cockpit they should duck to avoid getting hit by the boom. The sheet of the mainsail and jib should be loose and the sails allowed to luff so they will not re-capsize the boat while it is righting.

− | ==== Boat flotation ====
| |
| | | |
− | All sailboats can capsize and without adequate flotation they will sink. There should be enough flotation so when the boat is righted it will float high enough to keep it from being swamped with water and allow you to bail it out. Many manufactured boats have built-in watertight flotation compartments. The watertight integrity of these compartments should be inspected before you go sailing. They usually have access holes to allow you to check for leaks and remove any water that may have accumulated.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | These holes may be small drain holes or large enough to pass your hand through them. Whatever size they are, it is critical that the drain plugs or access covers are securely fastened. If your boat capsizes and the holes are open, water flooding the compartments will deplete their flotation. Air bags or foam in or under the seats may also be used if a boat does not have watertight flotation compartments or the size of the compartments doesn’t provide sufficient flotation.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | It is important for small boat sailors to know if their boat has sufficient flotation. One sure method of determining this is to capsize it in water that is deep enough for the boat, but shallow enough for you stand. Push down on one side until the boat starts to take on water, and then hand over hand up the shroud to the top of the mast to pull the mast down to the water. After the boat is capsized on its side, bring it upright again. How high does the boat float? How much water is in the cockpit? How long does it take to bail out the water? It shouldn’t take longer than several minutes.

| | | |
− | ==== Bailing equipment ====
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | Bailing equipment is also part of standard safety gear. While few small boat sailors carry a pump, a small bucket or a large plastic bottle with the bottom cut off works well. Attach the bailer to the boat with a length of cord to prevent it from floating away during a capsize. A large sponge (the kind used to wash cars) can be used to finish the bailing.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | |
− | '''Above all, remember to stay with your boat. As long as its floating you will be safe. Remember the boat does not get tired and it can be visible a long way off. Don't ever think of swimming ashore. '''
