THE REVIEW

Wednesday, March 19, 1986

‘By SUSAN McLEAN
Review Staff Writer

“Man overboard! >?

The. alert is sounded. Crew members remaining on deck
panic. Life rings are flung haphazardly toward the drowning
victim. Some fail wide, yards from the splashing arms.

Finally, a rope is tossed close — too close. It falls on top of
the tiring swimmer, tangling in a mass of flailing extremities. _

The captain sharply turns the boat in a tight !80 arc, open-
ing wide the throttle. Equipment and crew are roughly thrown
to the port side, luckily grabbing handholds in time. The
speeding vessel narrowly misses the man trying to tread water. '

This is a scene members of the Sidney and North Saanich
Yacht Club want to avoid.

In a practice drili Sunday, boating enthusiasts watched an
well-executed man-overboard rescue operation off the
SNSYC wharf.

. §killfully guided by captain Kaerl Drost onboard the: 40-
foot sailboat. Britomar, Al and Pat Whitfield of West Coast
Plastics demonstrated life-saving procedures using a new

- rescue collar. ,

Volunteer Kevin Storey suited up and jumped ov erboard,
"spurred on from the wharf by father Al Storey of All Bay
Marine.

Slowing down. the vessel, by reducing throttle or. turning
“head. to:-wind if in sail, Drost made a wide arc around the bob-
“bing swimmer.

‘Working in the stern, Pat Whitfield tossed out the bright
orange nylon sling attached to the boat by a 150-foot line,
loaded with 50 pounds of flotation.

- Completing. the circle, the sling swung towards the swim-
“mer. Donning the collar, the victim was easily pulled to the
-boat.and swung to. safety using a. simple: block and.tackle
system hooked to the sailboat’s rigging..

* The new device is particularly useful onboard sailboats that
utilize winches, says manufacturer Al Whitfield.

The big difference between the rescue collar and. other
devices, he says, is that this system deploys the flotation to the
victim. “The sling is brought right up to the guy in the water.

He just slips the collar around him and he’s pulled to the side
of the boat — something like a waterski-type pickup.”’

; “You don’t. have to manhandle the guy to get him on-

». board. One person can easily pull him in.’

:Whitfield’s .Delta-based manufacturing operation. recently
supplied the Canadian Coast Guard with collars, ‘who use the

“new system for rough water pickups. ©

. Whitfield also. recommends the device to all-sail and power

a enthusiasts; as well as commercial fishermen. :
