I see there are good ways to ease sternal ingress. As long as the outboard is
well supported it can only improve the sailing experience.
But in all seriousness I'm surprised that ease of sternal ingress isn't
regarded as an important safety consideration for MOB scenarios. Dragging an
exhausted/chilled crew back in the boat- Isn't lifting them over the top rail a
bit of a nuisance? I'm surprised it isn't more common. Or even mandated.
