Man Overboard Apparatus and Method

[Category : - Boating]
[Viewed 15 times]

The apparatus and method of the present invention provides for improving the reliability of the rescue of a man overboard, or MoB, whether or not that person is able to assist in their own rescue and whether or not the MoB is slightly submerged. The apparatus of the present invention is comprised of a foldable set of arms that, when deployed, are fixed at 90 degrees to each other forming an “H” geometry. The advantage of the “H” geometry is that it deploys both on, above and under the surface of the water, such that when the tether attached to the rescue device passes the MoB it readily becomes entangled. Advantageously, the apparatus of the present invention may be used with the majority of contemporary rescue devices.

Be prepared for anything with the MOB Retriever Sling. This add-on to the LifeSling® (works standalone also) allows you to safely retrieve an unconscious person overboard, even if you can't get close to them or perform a jibe. This essential safety equipment gives you peace of mind knowing you can handle any crew overboard situation.
