🔍 Key Concepts

• Man overboard recovery maneuvers and when each is preferred • Effects of restricted visibility (thick fog) on your ability to keep visual contact with the person in the water • Importance of keeping track of the vessel’s original track line when you lose sight of the person overboard

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In thick fog, can you reliably keep the person in sight to shape a precise recovery pattern, or do you need a maneuver that helps you return to a known track line? • Think about which maneuver is specifically designed to bring the ship back onto its original course line, close to the point where the person fell overboard. • Consider which turns (racetrack, round, figure eight) depend more on continuous visual contact to be effective and safe.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which maneuver is designed for man overboard recovery in reduced visibility conditions. • Verify which option is known for bringing the vessel back onto its reciprocal course along the original track. • Eliminate maneuvers that rely heavily on maintaining constant visual contact with the person in the water.
