Oregon Couple Awarded
US SAILING’s Hanson Medal for Payette Lake Rescue A crew that rescued a sailor from
Payette Lake in Idaho was awarded an Arthur B. Hanson Rescue Medal by the US SAILING Safety-at-Sea Committee for the seamanship they displayed. Steve and Charlotte Dube of Ontario,
Oregon, rescued a sailor in their Catalina 250 during the Mill Harbor Yacht Club’s Payette Cup Regatta on June 12, 2010. After a boom knocked a sailor overboard from another boat, Steve and Charlotte deployed a Lifesling and Charlotte steered the boat in circles around the sailor until the line was in his hands and the boat was stopped. Fortunately, he was wearing a life jacket. The sailor was in a state of mild hypothermia after five minutes in the lake’s 50° water. He was helped on board by Charlotte and Steve, and was soon in dry clothes as the boat returned to the marina. Charlotte, Steve and the sailor are all in their 60s.
