What a joke, calm seas, no speed, noone appointed lookout, no boarding ladder, as if you are going to bring a full grown human onboard with a boathook!! This should be in the comedy section with the title: Lifejacket overboard...

It's a start.
I absolutely agree, you've got to have a lookout whose ONLY job is to watch the spot where the person went overboard.
Of course you may not always have enough crew to do that, but it's still got to be part of the training.

@handymann: The video title did not state "perfect man overboard manuever". I think it is great that the crew is at least practicing. And the comment section can be useful to discuss about what was good and what was bad.
What I noticed: the person on the foredeck was located in a relative dangerous area. Even when tacking only it might not be the best idea to stand next to the sail. If the boat would turn into the wind the sail would start luffing.
Under these conditions (not too strong wind?) maybe a quickstop maneuver would have been feasible (just a circle, even if this would mean gybing).
The speed was way to fast when coming to the "man" in the water. I agree that nobody would pull a person on board with the boathook. Even the idea to pull the person in the water to the back of the boat might be too dangerous; at least in case the conditions are worse with higher waves.
At least one turn looked a bit abrupt, it looked like the boat was losing speed.
But as said: good to practice at least, and thanks for uploading.

Thankfully it was not a real person overboard. I remember that my father once took a man overboard drill to the next level. My brother and I were in our teens and competent sailors. My father shouted, man overboard and promptly jumped off the stern. It was fair weather and he had a life jacket. This was back in the day before inflatable ones that you just had to dry out. I sometimes wonder what happened to my father 😂😂😂😂.
