The helmsman is the one who leads the boat , having to decide the route to follow, is the one who decides when to tack or jibe, is the one who decides when or how much luff rest in short, if we were in a car he would decide whether to turn left or right when braking or accelerating.
What happens if our skipper falls overboard? Well if that happens, there are problems ...
can happen, but if the poor crew it is well out on the trapeze, the helmsman, who was also ready to fight back for the gusts trying to help mate, stick with it in hand, splashing his face covering eh ... Pluff magically disappears ... the crew at the helm of this point has only one option: pick up quickly and manage to board the boat to conduct him or break away quickly before the boat is on the stand and, as close as possible to the boat, because with the wind and strong current, the boat drifting too at a rate disproportionately.
But why the pilot is finished in water?!?! Most likely, the stick slipped out of hand, or fallen short straps at the foot ...
If one were to see such a scene would exchange the two sailors for two clowns are doing a number.
seems absurd as a scene, but alas, it does happen, I took the heat, and being focused, the movements become mechanical, and we forget to take a look to see if all is OK ... and fly into the water ... I leave you with a video found on youtube, if you want to watch it all, look at the last piece .. here at the helm (the crew is made only by him as a laser) do a nice flight ... lacking, indeed, at the foot straps!
Fair winds to all!
