Real-life MOB Drill in Rough Seas by OLM

MOB Stands for Man Over Board

A maritime safety exercise off Brittany demonstrates a realistic man overboard recovery in rough offshore conditions aboard a rigid inflatable boat.

The training, organised by Oliver focuses on fast reactions, coordinated teamwork, and controlled manoeuvres during an emergency situation at sea.

Crew members immediately identify the casualty and announce the man overboard situation to everyone on board.

The helmsman carefully repositions the boat while maintaining control in strong swell and challenging sea conditions. A very important skill in case of an MOB.

The recovery procedure prioritises crew safety and a stable approach toward the person in the water.

The MOB exercise highlights the importance of preparation when navigating exposed coastal waters with strong Atlantic currents.

Brittany remains a demanding environment where rapid decision-making can become critical during offshore navigation.

This training footage targets recreational boaters, sailors, and rigid inflatable boat operators seeking stronger safety awareness at sea.

Impressive RIB Improvement Course for Rough Seas

Improvement by Training

Richard, traveled to Saint Alban de Roche (F) to familiarize himself with wave crossing techniques on February 1, 2020 in the Raz de Sein (Brittany).

He has held a boating license since 1992 and he has a RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat). He therefore has a certain mastery of the boat, of the management and of the trim.

He questioned himself to do this improvement training in rough seas in order to feel more at ease in the analysis, the know how on decision-making as skipper.

FYI, Olivier uses a Ribcraft 5.85 powered by with a Mercury 200 V8.
