The Williamson Turn for Man Overboard situations


The Scharnov Turn for Man Overboard situations


NOTE: The direction of any of these turns should swing the rear of the powered vessel AWAY from the side of the vessel that the person fell off from. This is to minimize any potential of catching the person with the stern of the vessel or the prop.

Nice video on Man Overboard Rescue using the Anderson and Williamson Turn
