Catamaran Man Overboard in higher wind/seas

[Margaret Pommert]

I'm working with some members of Storm Trysail club to develop some materials for multihull specific MoB techniques. I'm focusing on cruising catamarans.

I've got lots of materials for windspeeds up to about 20 knots, like this that I shot this weekend: https://youtu.be/mXU1DgDDYss?si=bKsxz2lUGG6kIcNJ

But really need to test some equipment and methods in higher winds, like 30 knots or above on a cruising cat. I've done a bit of this, but not had a chance to record much of it or the lessons learned so it can be shared.

Are there any cruising catamaran owners here in the Seattle area that would be willing to work with me to find a snotty day to go out and practice and film som MoB drills? I've got 2 Lifeslings, both the 2 and the larger/longer 3, several different throw bags, etc.

Hi, Margaret:

I don’t have a cruising cat but if you need crew, videographer, etc, let me know. 

(By “videographer”, I mean dude with an iPhone and GoPro. )

Yes, would love your assistance, thank you!

Right now I"m still looking for a cat with an owner that thinks going out in 30+ knots sounds like a good idea ;-)

Winds in excess of 30kts are not exactly common in Puget Sound. Do you
have crew in addition to the equipment?
