I once had someone jump off my catamaran while we were sailing, and I had to turn the boat around to recover her. If someone goes overboard, my first move is to heave to, stop the boat and regain control of the situation.

When I am sailing alone, I avoid putting out two anchors because recovering both can become nearly impossible if they start dragging. I would rather leave and find a better patch of sand.

I once climbed the mast while underway and ended up badly bruised from being thrown against it repeatedly. Looking back, I should have stopped, anchored in a protected area and dealt with the problem safely.
