Today the MAIB's compendium of anonymous accident summaries and safety lessons learned was published. The digest can be downloaded from the MAIB website: Safety Digest 1/2010

There is a printed version as well which should be in the Club House.

It always makes very good reading, and might well avert a lot of accidents if every seafarer read it

I found this in there:
-
When faced with an inverted dinghy and
no sign of the crew in the water, it is
important to right the boat as quickly
as possible to give the entrapped crew
every chance of survival. Ensuring that
safety boat crews are well trained and
practised in such activities will maximise
their effectiveness and potentially save
lives. Sailing clubs often provide safety boat
training, and there is no better experience
than practising dinghy inversion recovery to
prepare people for the real thing.
