🔍 Key Concepts

• Man overboard recovery maneuvers (Williamson turn vs. Scharnow turn) • The purpose of a Scharnow turn in relation to where the vessel ends up relative to her original track • How time elapsed since the person fell overboard affects which maneuver is safest

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In which maneuver do you return to a point well astern on your original track, and why would that matter for a person who fell overboard some time ago? • Compare when you would want to turn immediately versus when you would deliberately steam ahead before starting the recovery maneuver. • Think about whether constant visual contact with the person is a requirement for choosing this specific turn, or if it is designed for when sight may already have been lost.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how a Scharnow turn track looks compared to a Williamson turn track. • Check which maneuver is recommended when the man overboard is noticed immediately versus noticed after some delay. • Confirm whether the Scharnow turn is intended to bring the vessel back to a point farther astern along the original course line, and how that relates to the timing of the incident.
