I'm one of the lucky ones...dozens of Channel Island trips in a single engine aircraft and I'm still alive. I know the 'automatic rough' sensation as I coast out.
I have also flown from Jersey to Cardiff at night in strong winds in winter when if the engine quit my chance of survival in the English Channel would be zero.
Sailing crews are faced with the same prospect.
So what can we learn from their survival techniques?
