Hmm... this isn't what I've been taught. Is this for a power boat?

There are about 5 different pickup methods, including the one noted above.

The Figure 8 method, the reach --Reach method
And the Quick stop - which is the preferred method of most major regattas...(key west mandates you practice it as a crew at least once prior to racing….

Most important in all beside realizing a guy is overboard is to have a dedicated lookout whose sole responsibility is to watch the guy in the water.

I actually got to practice this unintentionally last weekend when my brother's hat flew off. I had only read in books what to do and I just now read that link above to verify my method and it turned out I did it mostly right. When the hat flew off, I immediately told my brother to keep an eye on it because there was quite a bit of chop and it was hard to locate. I had my brother furl the headsail in the beginning to slow us down, made a large circle, got out the extended boat hook and approached the hat as we came into the wind. It was not easy and we made three attempts without any luck. It was hard to get the hat to hook on. The fourth try I cranked up the outboard to give a bit more control and this time we caught the hat. Of course if it was a person overboard, I would have thrown my life ring off the stern rail or any other available floats.
I'm glad it went well, but really I should practice more and teach my guests on board more of what needs to be done in certain situations.
