John just got to watch your video. Seriously well impressed by your brilliant sling design and how effective it was. Very important to highlight the dangerous side of life afloat

Great Video. Thank you for making the time and effort to highlight this issue. Nobody plans to go overboard and bodily reactions of a conscious person are severely hampered by sea state, cold water and tiredness if several attempts to recover are required. I hope viewers will be prompted to consider their actions and to practice various scenarios in a safe and controlled manner before having to do this for real in much less favourable conditions.

Now that is as a very interesting video. Am going to have to rethink my recovery procedures. I think I will look at your sling method which as you say works very well. I may well look at adopting some canvas for the purpose.

You should have an inflatable life jacket that has a sewn in harness so that you could clip a snap shocking onto it with a separate set of blocks shackles on both ends clip one to your boom, or whatever you got so that you have the ability to pull somebody up a five or 6 to 1 set of blocks and just hoist them up, perhaps get onto a mast winchor what have you but you can on snap at the end of your boom blocks and swing the boom out pull them up on the end of the boom and swinging back in

Great subject, often talked about, but never practiced. Id like to make a suggestion. If you attach a pulley to the bottom of the mast facing forward, run the halyard through it to the windless rope drum. I’m not sure what windless you have, mines has rope drum opposite side of the gypsy. It would be a lot easier on the person on the winch handle, possibly quicker as well.

Great video about an essential subject. We bought Duncan Wells MOB Lifesavers for all our lifejackets - they are approx £18 and give you a floating dyneema strop attached to the lifejacket harness and this makes it much easier to get the ‘casualty’ connected to the boat, which is a big issue in non flat seas. The sling you developed looks great (maybe you should sell them?) & looks a great alternative to a handy billy on a halyard. We sail as a couple & one of us is way heavier than the other - guess which one of us is likely to fall in!? Thanks for sharing

Fair play, I’ve never seen a sling like yours before and what a great idea, how many of us just sitting on anchor or a mooring enjoying the sunshine and some grub, and not all of us wear life lines on anchor, maybe a buoyancy jacket, and we get up and stumble and over we go but hit our head on the way down, absolutely helpless in the water, some chance of getting that person out of the water with the sling Hopefully we’ll have better weather this summer in Sunny West Cork
