🔍 Key Concepts

• Man-overboard recovery maneuvers (Williamson, Scharnow, Anderson/Single Turn, Racetrack) • Difference between known position vs. unknown time/position of person overboard • How time delay affects the choice of turning maneuver

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is this a fresh man-overboard where you just saw the person fall, or has the person been missing for some time? • Which maneuver is designed to bring the vessel back onto her original track line after some distance has been run? • For each option, think: Does this turn work best when I know the exact point of the MOB, or when I only know they are somewhere astern on my previous track?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which maneuver is specifically intended for a person missing for some time rather than immediately observed going overboard • Check which turn is designed to return to the wake/track line to search along it • Eliminate maneuvers that are optimized for instant, visually observed MOB situations rather than delayed reports
