Plastimo Man Overboard Recovery
Man Over Board refers to a situation in which a person has fallen off a boat or ship into the water, and is in need of rescue. Whoever sees the person fall should shout "MAN OVERBOARD" to alert other crew members, and attempt to maintain visual contact with the person in the water.
Rescue Sling
Complete rescue gear, which delivers flotation to the victim and
provides a means to hoist the person back aboard (with the help of a
lifting tackle or halyard winch if necessary).
The clever and
exclusive patented design of the Rescue Sling consists in the retrieval
line which is coiled on a reel : this avoids the line tangling or
fouling, and makes the Rescue Sling the most efficient man over board
recovery gear.
Rescue Line
Throw
bag heaving line, very simple to operate : a 20 m retrieval line stowed
in a bag, allowing to connect the survivor to the boat.
Equally
useful in many circumstances, such as getting a line to a dock, and
also in many river leisure activities, such as canoeing, rafting, etc.
The Rescue Line is weighted, so that it can be thrown with accuracy at
a reasonable distance, even against strong winds.
It features a grab loop at both ends, enabling both the rescuer and the survivor to remain attached to the line.
Rescue Buoy®
>
A new concept in the array of patented man overboard recovery aids :
simple and ingenious, the Plastimo Rescue Buoy represents a major
-though simple- breakthrough which will contribute to saving lives at
sea.
The principle is deceptively simple : attach permanently a
regular horseshoe buoy to a properly coiled lifeline ; when the buoy is
thrown, the line pays out quickly, without tangling or fouling.
Flushmount Safety Ladder
Helps any crewmember get back on board easily without external help.
Suitable for day to day use (for example, swimming) or in case of a Man Over Board.
Consists
of 3 polypropylene steps and 1 stainless steel handle assembled by a highly
resistant line, (bright yellow Ø 3 mm polyester). Ladder is stored in a
polyamide tube with a grey polypropylene cap, for optimum protection
and waterproofness.
• Light
• Very easy flush mount (like a thru-hull fitting).
• Transom or skirt mount (sail and power boats), just above waterline.
Safety Ladder
Designed to increase safety on board, this ladder comes in a canvas bag with 2 handles : one handle to attach the bag alongside the boat ; the other handle for the man fallen overboard to grab : the bag pulls open and the ladder unfolds instantly, helping the person to get back on board easily.
