A man overboard rescue turn is a sailing maneuver usually implemented immediately upon learning of a man overboard. To maneuver closer to the person's location, implementations of the principles described are: the quick turn (also known as the Q-turn or the figure eight turn), the Anderson turn, the Williamson turn, and the Scharnow turn. ==Quick turn== The quick turn is the traditional response to a man overboard emergency on a sailboat. Despite many new approaches, it is still a robust strategy and often the best method. Certainly when the crew is shorthanded, or when the vessel is in heavy weather, the quick turn method has a lot of merit because it avoids a jibe. The quick turn is essentially a figure eight. On a sailboat it consists of the following steps: # Change course to a beam reach and hold for 15 seconds # Head into the wind and tack, leave the jib fluttering # Veer off until the boat is at a broad reach # Turn upwind until the vessel is pointing at the victim; at this point the vessel should be on a close reach. # Slacken the mainsail until the vessel comes to a stop with the victim in the lee side of the boat 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Man overboard rescue turn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
