[J24 ListSrv] Crew overboard training

[Craig Smith]

Agree agree.  Maybe we could work Beth's idea into one of the new crew
races.  Mandatory bucket/fender recovery before the start?

Would also like to get AIS sailors involved.  David Crum has offered the
use of his expired life raft for training.  I've never practiced climbing
aboard on (step up).  Might be harder than you imagine but That would work
better in warmer weather.
