Have Tailing Lines Ever Saved A Solo Sailor?
Having this discussion on an Australian forum and I said that I have never read/heard of anyone actually being saved by a line trailing from the stern. Does anybody remember it actually working for a solo sailor? Cannot imagine how hard it would be to drag yourself against the speed of the boat and then get onboard assuming that you are fully clothed when you go overboard.
