🔍 Key Concepts

• Man overboard recovery maneuvers (Williamson turn, Anderson turn, round turn) • How a round turn affects relative wind, sea state, and visual contact with the person in the water • Differences between what is easiest, fastest, and most controlled in shiphandling

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the ship’s heading and track when you make a full round turn. How does that help you with the person in the water? • Compare the round turn to the Williamson turn: which one is designed mainly for poor visibility, and which one is more useful when you keep the person in sight? • For a single‑screw vessel, what aspects of the turn (rate of turn, approach angle, control of speed) are especially helpful when coming back alongside a person in the water?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which maneuver is specifically taught for reduced visibility – that will eliminate at least one option • Decide whether the main benefit of the round turn is about speed, ease, or control/accuracy of approach • Consider whether a round turn really demands more or less shiphandling skill than the alternatives based on your seamanship experience
