Wanting to use some video for training of a rescue of a MOB.
There was a documentary made about 1999 Hobart. (Not 1998)
Maybe made by one of the northern Tasmanian tv stations.
I had a VHS tape of it but it got "borrowed"
There is little media coverage otherwise as there was a fuel shortage and even Richard Bennett had trouble getting aloft.

If anyone has a copy or can point me in the right direction let me know.
Cheers

Plenty of man overboard rescue procedures on utube but nothing in OZ

Lydia, was this "Highway of Low Pressure" that used to be in the ISAF special regs?

Well done, I think "highway" was in the title.
I was chasing the footage of the "Van Dieman" off Bay of Fires doing a MOB rescue.
Definitely not flat water or sunny day.
Doing some training for some people going to Hobart.
So thanks,
L

Quick google search show I am not the only one looking for it.
I am on the right track, seems it gets used in French SSSC courses.

I watched it on VHS at a mates place in WA years ago whilst on a windsurfing trip, hard to forget once watched!
