Recovery
of a consciouse man overboard. First test of the MS00 Markusnet on board the yacht Silver
Lady.
This operation was done by one rescuer.
Equipment: A MS.00 Markusnet with 25 m buoyant throw-line on the inner end and 120 m
attachment line between yacht and the outer end of the Markusnet. A treble block hoisting
system fastened to safety halyard from centre of the mast. This unit comes now standard
