Dave: Falling off the boat doesn't happen very often. You're more likely to jump off while going out on the wire and having your harness unhook. If you sail enough it will happen. When it does hold onto the mainsheet. You don't want to get seperated from the boat. Boats can sail away real fast. The boat will usually flip when you jump off. If there is enough wind to try and trap the boat will drift faster than you can swim. Stay with the boat at all times.
