Evolution at work
That's a Carver 26, single I/O powered boat. We almost bought one many years ago. 8'6 beam with too many people on board and alcohol.
I've always gotten a laugh at the part where the skipper leaves the helm and dives over board off the stbd side.
The weird part is as he goes over board it looks like he has swim fins on!?
And then while another person moves to the abandoned helm, a third person on the bridge dives over the port side.
If you look closely the skipper is thrown off with the first wave. The guy with the flippers is initially on the port side of the bridge and then dives out.
OK Menzies, OP - Do you know the "real" reason?
