Anderson Turn
Overview
The Anderson Turn is a man overboard manoeuvre, often used as the fastest and simplest method for turning a ship.
As the manoeuvre does not result in retracing your original track, it is only appropriate when the casualty is within sight, or when the position of a man overboard has been accurately recorded.
