Despite studying the subject and maybe having attended a Safety at Sea course, your team may not be prepared for an actual emergency until you have actually practiced MOB recovery on you own boat. This course utilizes your boat, your rigging, and your crew.</p> <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width: 500px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color: lightsalmon;"> <p>Step 1: Please click: <a href="/sites/default/files/materials/Crewed%20READ%20ME%20POYOB.pdf">READ ME FIRST for Offshore Crews</a></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: yellow;">Step 2: Click on the slides and text to view course materials. <a href="/sites/default/files/materials/Crewed%20POYOB%20MOB%20Slides.ppsx">POYOB MOB Power Point Slide Presentation</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: palegreen;">Step 3: You may download or print materials to begin your course. <a href="/sites/default/files/materials/Crewed%20Slide%20Text%20POYOB.pdf">POYOB MOB Companion Text for Slides</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><br />  </p> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>Administrator</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Tue, 02/24/2026 - 21:58</span> <div class="field field--name-field-materials field--type-file field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Materials</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="https://sas.cruisingclub.org/sites/default/files/materials/Crewed%20READ%20ME%20POYOB.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=379322">Crewed READ ME POYOB.pdf</a></span> </div> <div class="field__item"> <span class="file file--mime-application-vnd-openxmlformats-officedocument-presentationml-slideshow file--general"> <a href="https://sas.cruisingclub.org/sites/default/files/materials/Crewed%20POYOB%20MOB%20Slides.ppsx" type="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow; length=7670981">Crewed POYOB MOB Slides.ppsx</a></span> </div> <div class="field__item"> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="https://sas.cruisingclub.org/sites/default/files/materials/Crewed%20Slide%20Text%20POYOB.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=845198">Crewed Slide Text POYOB.pdf</a></span> </div> </div> </div> Tue, 24 Feb 2026 21:58:40 +0000 Administrator 779 at https://sas.cruisingclub.org https://sas.cruisingclub.org/index.php/poyob <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Practice on Your Own Boat</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span style="font-size:12pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Aptos"><span style="color:#1b3a6b"><span style="font-weight:700"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">One of the most important lessons in sailing safety is simple: </span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:16pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Aptos"><span style="color:#1b3a6b"><span style="font-weight:700"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">practice matters</span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:12pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Aptos"><span style="color:#1b3a6b"><span style="font-weight:700"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="line-height:1.3900000000000001; margin-top:13px; margin-bottom:5px"><span style="font-size:12pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Aptos"><span style="color:#1b3a6b"><span style="font-weight:700"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">What Is Practice On Your Own Boat (POYOB)?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="line-height:1.3900000000000001; margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:12pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Aptos"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">Prepared by the Cruising Club of America's Safety and Seamanship Committee, POYOB is a structured, step-by-step exercise program designed to build real, boat-specific "muscle memory”. *</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="line-height:1.3900000000000001; margin-top:13px; margin-bottom:5px"><span style="font-size:12pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Aptos"><span style="color:#1b3a6b"><span style="font-weight:700"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">Every Boat.
