Re: MOB Gear -- Are Dan Buoys and Life Rings Still Relevant?

Re: MOB Gear -- Are Dan Buoys and Life Rings Still Relevant?

EEK :eek: no ping pong balls, no valves, just 18" of bent plastic tube please. 10 minutes of practice and instruction clearing the tube will do if anyone hasn't practised before.

Re: MOB Gear -- Are Dan Buoys and Life Rings Still Relevant?

I had the advantage that we always had reasonably fit people who were water confident on board when dealing with emergencies. You may not be in the same position and putting a second person in the...

Re: MOB Gear -- Are Dan Buoys and Life Rings Still Relevant?

You missed one key item, a snorkel. If the sea is rough the rescue diver will have real problems breathing without it, it is a life saver in its own right just as a sprayhood is on a lifejacket. ...

Re: MOB Gear -- Are Dan Buoys and Life Rings Still Relevant?

Lifting vertical is an issue for lifeboat crews who could arrive on site hours after the casualty goes overboard. You will hopefully be alongside in minutes. The difference is going to be a huge...

Re: MOB Gear -- Are Dan Buoys and Life Rings Still Relevant?

Re: MOB Gear -- Are Dan Buoys and Life Rings Still Relevant?

Our main sheet is attached to the main sheet track and to the boom with carabiners which enable it to be quickly changed to use the 4:1 to lift a casualty. However, larger yachts probably couldn't...
