Get your crewmember back onboard fast! The Lifesling2 saves lives!Lifesling2 is Coast Guard approved and works better than a ring buoy or horseshoe buoy because: It can be towed to the overboard crewmember, rather than the crewmember having to swim to it—this eliminates the danger of the crewmember coming in contact with the hull and propeller It can be used as a lifting sling if the crewmember needs help out of the water The Lifesling2 system consists of a flotation collar which is a blend of the traditional horseshoe buoy and a helicopter rescue sling. Its connected to 125' of multi-filament polypropylene retrieving line which allows the flotation to be towed or thrown to the overboard crewmember. The collar and line are stored for protection against the elements in a rigid and attractive vinyl storage bag. Graphics on the bag clearl illustrate the instructions for recovering a person in the water.
