Life Sling - Primary Response
<<>>This equipment is usually secured to the stanchions. The life sling is the first action when someone goes over board. If it is thrown quickly it will save time in rescue. Being horse shoe shaped, it can used for flotation whilst the boat turns around. As one end is secured to the boat, it is possible to haul the person to the boat.

If your man over board is conscious then getting them in to the boat will prove difficult. Wrap the cord around the nearest winch and use two crew to heave him / her on board. Of course in order for this equipment to work, it must be thrown quickly and accurately before sight of the man is lost.
