Mary: the extent of my overboard drills on a catamaran also involve the family's golden retreivers Gabby is a bit spastic, and she likes to eat jellyfish so when she sees one go by the boat, she jumps in after it.

On mono's, where I was "raised" I've done quite a bit of man overboard drills. On a cat, its difficult to drop the main as quickly as a non-hook-and-ring, more traditional setup.

I also sail singlehanded most of the time, which means that if I go overboard, I have bigger problems than my crew pulling me over the transom.
