SEAGO RESCUE SLING

The rescue sling does exactly what you would

expect it to do and, although instructions are

included, you don’t really need them as it is

simply inflated by pulling a tab, and thrown to

someone who has gone overboard. This new

version features flaps to reduce water entry

and has a new cover with webbing tab for for

quick and easy use by the MOB. A webbing

handle sits on top of the float which should

help improve the speed at which the bag can

be grabbed and deployed.
