It's gotta be written up somewhere. Basically, the boats' decklines are connected by a three foot length of three or four mil line, stainless (Wichart are nice) clips on each end; the rescuer places his or her boat next to the sicko and facing the sicko, who then lies down over the rescuer's foredeck, while the rescuer --- with a somewhat extended paddle stroke on the side with the rescuee --- paddles the both to safety.
