Marine Rescue Equipment for Man-Overboard Recovery

Compare two ACTIVE Crewsaver rescue aids for boating and sailing: the 1320-STROP Throwing Strop and 1320-SLING Rescue Sling. Both include a 30 m high-strength line and are intended to support man-overboard recovery operations.

Crewsaver Throwing Strop vs Rescue Sling

• 1320-STROP: a throwing line combined with a padded lifting strop, secured with hook-and-loop fastening for stowage and deployment.
• 1320-SLING: a pre-shaped rescue sling with a tough PVC outer and 30 m line, designed to position around a person in the water.

These are different recovery systems. Check the manufacturer's operating instructions, boat layout, lifting method and crew training requirements before choosing. Neither product replaces an appropriate lifejacket, a recovery plan or practiced emergency procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do both products include a 30 m line?

Yes, 30 m high-strength lines are listed for both current models.

Can any crew member perform a man-overboard recovery using only this equipment?

No. Recovery depends on training, suitable attachment and lifting equipment, conditions and a practiced procedure. Follow manufacturer guidance and established maritime safety practice.
