JONBUOY TO THE RESCUE
20/08/07

Latest addition to the Jonbuoy inflatable range of products, which are exclusive to Ocean Safety, is the innovative JONBUOY Inflatable Rescue Sling.

It is ideally suited for either land or water based rescue.

This inflatable sling is a natural development from the more traditional lifesling, combined with a throw sock it is quick and easy to use in a man overboard situation.

Designed to be compact and lightweight, the sling packs neatly into either a tube container, which can be mounted onto the pushpit or rail, or into a soft sock, which is easily stowed in a locker or vehicle.

It is deployed by attaching the secure clip to a strong point on the boat or land and then removing the sling pouch from the container or sock. The pouch containing the sling can then be thrown towards the casualty. He or she can then place their head and arms into the already inflated sling and be gently recovered back on board or ashore.

If the casualty is injured, it is easy to winch them back on board using the sling. Once fired the Jonbuoy Sling is easy to re-arm and repack.

The Jonbuoy Inflatable Rescue Sling has a buoyancy of 175N with a 30 metre 8mm safety line. The system has a manual override and a top up inflation tube.

The lifting harness is tested to 175kg and the sling is made in high visibility fabric with retroreflective tape. This man overboard rescue system has an optional light, re-arm packs can also be purchased.
