CATCH AND LIFT Rescue System
Necessary accessories for this item
Product details
This rescue system combines two stages of rescue in one system, CATCH and LIFT: First, the MOB is caught by hooking the pulley to the boat and throwing the rescue sling into which the MOB attaches.The second stage involves using the sea anchor to pull and LIFT the MOB back into the boat. The sea anchor does the work, no muscular strength is required. The system is easy to use even in severe weather and under stress. A fast rescue is guaranteed.
1. Open the case, hook the pulley at the end of the boom.
2. Throw the rescue sling and circle around the person in the water at a safe distance.
3. Throw the sea anchor into the water to pull and lift the person back into the boat.

The system
A Pulley
The pulley is marked with a 1 and is attached to the sailing vessel with a snap hook. Possible hooking points for this purpose are on the right or on the left of the shrouds or at the end of the boom (topping lift). The pulley pivots. Possible rope twists automatically become untwisted during the recovery process. Furthermore, the pulley is fitted with a special rope cleat. This rope cleat secures the returned rope and, thus, also the person gone overboard immediately upon his/her return on board.
B Rescue sling
The rescue sling has a red strap marked with a 2. This rescue sling has several functions:
- Heaving line: approx. 40 meters of floating rope stowed in two pockets.
- Brake function: when the floating rope is unstrapped, the two pockets fill with water. The rescue sling can be steered to the person in the water with pinpoint accuracy regardless of wind conditions.
- The rescue sling is used if the person in the water is wearing no life jacket or the life jacket is not equipped with the lift device to which a snap hook can be hooked.
- A snap hook: if the life jacket is equipped with a lift device, the red snap hook should be hooked to it. It is designed to be hooked easily even with cold, stiff fingers. This snap hook is identical to the snap hook on the pulley.
C Sea anchor
The sea anchor has a red strap marked with a 3. To ensure that the sea anchor only opens in the water (and not on board the vessel due to strong winds), it is packed in a special protective cover which is environmentally friendly and completely dissolves in water within 3 seconds. The sea anchor quickly opens automatically when it is submerged in water.
The yellow rope floats in water and is clearly visible on the water surface. It has a total length of approx. 60 metres. Measured from the pulley, about 50 metres of floating rope are available for circling around and "catching" the person gone overboard. The remaining 10 metres of rope stretch from the pulley to the sea anchor and ensure unobstructed casting of the sea anchor into the water.
The case is an important component of CATCH and LIFT. Closed with two red seals, it securely protects all contained system components against humidity, dirt, UV rays and mechanical impacts. This ensures reliable operation of the CATCH and LIFT system. Thanks to the built-in air pressure compensation valve, the case is safe for air travel. It is also air, dust and waterproof according to IP67 standards.
The wire rope clamp is mounted on the shrouds and constitutes a readily available hooking point for the pulley - regardless of the position of the sails. The shrouds are extremely suitable for the LIFT of the person gone overboard due to their sturdiness and position. The wire rope clamp is optional and available for all shroud diameters from 6 mm to 20 mm.
