I was thinking a rope ladder with wooden steps that you can roll up and keep on the rear beam, but that may not look "fast"...

And given Pete Cullum's "issue" at Steeplechase, I'm considering one of those line bags you throw like a football with about 150' of line in it to toss at whomever falls overboard so it improves their chances of staying connected to the boat once I park it /flip it

Conversely, perhaps I could attach the line bag to the beam AND myself so the line stays tucked up in the little pouch unless I fall overboard. The 150' should give me enough time to orient myself and hold it rather than get dragged like a shorter static line would...
