The person is alongside the boat holding onto the lifebuoy. They are tired and cannot climb the side easily. How can the crew help them aboard?

A. Wait until they have fully rested in the water before doing anything else

B. Throw them more items to hold rather than trying to lift them aboard

C. Use the boarding ladder if fitted (lower it into the water), or get strong crew members to grab their lifejacket/clothing and pull them up over the lowest point of the boat (often near the stern), working together rather than one person trying alone

D. Tell them to keep trying to climb the high side of the boat by themselves with no help

A. "MAN OVERBOARD!" loudly, so every single person on the boat knows immediately, and point at the person in the water without taking your eyes off them

B. Immediately throw the anchor over to mark the spot

C. Shout for the person to swim faster towards the boat

D. Say nothing and quietly steer back towards them

A. Nothing — wait until the boat is right next to them before doing anything

B. A rope with no float attached, thrown as far as possible

C. A heavy item, such as a tool box, to mark the position

D. A lifebuoy (ring) or any other floating object kept near the cockpit — anything that floats helps them stay up and gives them something to hold onto while the boat turns around
