Person overboard
— Ensure all crew wear life jackets and conduct regular person overboard drills. Have a recovery plan and ensure lifebuoys and throw lines are accessible. Crew should clip onto jackstays in bad weather.
Loss of navigation equipment (e.g., GPS or compass failure)

High winds causing loss of control
