Thus, the floating rope is already completely unstrapped from both pockets when it reaches theperson gone overboard. Sail around the person in the water from a safe distance and at low speed. As soon as the person in the water is in contactwith the floating rope, stop the sailing ship. Wait until the person is fastened to the end of the floating rope. This can be donein two ways:1. Hook the red snap hook into an appropriate place on the life jacket.2. Position the rescue sling around the upper part of the rescued person2.

If you wish to interruptthe return process, stop the sailing ship.

If the person gone overboard has reached the ship, but is still in the water, the lifting procedure is appropriate at this time.Additionally, slowly increase the forward speed.Once the person gone overboard is back on board, stop the ship and secure the person with a life belt.
