Rescue Buoy
Features
A new concept in the array of 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.

Rescue Line®
Features
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 ivities, 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.

- 20 m floating line.
- Weight : 500 g.

- Breaking strain of line : 400 kg.
Rescue Sling
Features
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 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.
*Patented.
