Advantages
General information
- Our rescue system combines two stages of rescue in one:
- Firstly, it connects to the person gone overboard (heaving line)
- Secondly, the person is lifted back on board (automatically without muscle effort)
- Fast rescue: A person can be brought nearer and lifted back aboard in < 3 minutes
- Easy to use even in difficult weather conditions and under stress
- Muscular strength is not required either by the person on the ship, or by the person in the water
- Rescue manoeuvres are operated from the rudder - guaranteeing self-protection for the person/ people on-board
- The person in the water keeps a safe distance from the ship - no risk of running the person over or hurting him/her
- Full control at all times: the rescue procedure can be started and stopped, accelerated and slowed down
- Ready to use - no rearrangements on the ship or on the sails, no time wasted
- Ship remains under control during rescue procedures and is fully manoeuvrable
- Manoeuvring requires no specific qualifications
- The lifesaving equipment is brought to the person involved in an accident, not vice versa
- The rescue of unconscious people is possible
- It can be operated by a single person
- Especially suitable in poor visibility conditions, in the event of severe wind and heavy waves
- Rescue training leads to more confident performance, increasing chances of success
- Reusable
