USCG Approved!
It's one thing to get the boat back to a man overboard. Getting the man back in
the boat can be far more difficult, especially if the victim is unconscious. The USCG-approved
Lifesling is the most compact, economical, and effective solid lifesaver unit on
the high seas. Stanchion-mounted, the Lifesling pack contains a pliable center
section horseshoe, 150' of 3/8" floating polypropylene line, and an optional
water-activated personal marker light. The idea is to deliver contact instantly
to the crew in the water, facilitating short-handed retrieval without losing
time (and, quite possibly, losing sight of your crew). A hoist and tackle system
is another option designed to help bring even your beefiest crew aboard safely,
even if injured, unconscious, or in atrocious sea conditions.
