SOS Marine™ Recovery Ladder™
SOS Marine™ Recovery Ladder™ was nominated for a DAME award at the 2015 METSTRADE show in Amsterdam. It's made from dayglow (neon yellow) polyester mesh, a soft material that, unlike a swim step or boarding ladder, helps avoid injuring MOB during recovery. Designed for sailboat or powerboat, the Recovery Ladder™ helps a crew overboard get out of the water in 2 ways.
1. Able crew can climb the integral, 14-1/2" rigid ladder rungs
2. Disabled, hypothermic, or injured crew can be parbuckle (horizontally) lifted aboard
When you first acquire your Recovery Ladder™, set it up for future deployment on your boat. before you have a crew overboard. Take your time to determine how rigging on your boat can best be handled. You might rig the ladder to a length of line fastened between stanchion bases, or rig through hawse pipes, or over the gunwale, to a cleat, or to padeyes or other strong points. Once you decide how best to secure the recovery ladder for use, why not leave that rigging fastened to the ladder? When the time comes to recover your overboard crew, that line will be already tied to your recovery ladder, the lengths will be properly adjusted, all waiting in the ladder's integral stuff sack, ready to use.
