Safety Boat Push Rescue


This method is recommended only for experienced safety boat operators using inflatable boats or a padded bow. It is not advisable to use this method in rough water conditions.


1 Slowly bring the bow near the cockpit of the capsized boat.


2 Person at the bow grabs hold of the capsized boat and pushes while the safety boat gently drives forward.


3 As the boat rights, the bow person grabs the shroud and moves hand over hand to the top of the mast while keeping the safety boat clear.


4 Once the boat is on its side, proceed with the mast tip lift method.

Disconnect the Mast Rescue


Use this method as your last option. It is best suited for a boat where the mast does not pass through a hole in the deck or cabin top; otherwise there is a risk of damage to the mast or boat.


1 Disconnect the mast from the boat by unfastening the shrouds, forestay, and lines from the hull.


2 Attach flotation to the mast to mark its location.


3 Tow the hull away.


4 Return to the mast and pull it out of the mud.
