The YachtStrop/BoatStrop © is unique in that it naturally reverts to the 'open' position, 1.5 meters long allowing for the bulk of a life jacket and reducing the need for extreme accuracy when throwing. 

 

 The YachtStrop's/BoatStrop's elegant design causes the centre to sink about half a meter below the surface of the sea and engage around the waist, whilst the ends attached to the buoyant rope float on the surface. This depth is adjustable.

​

When the recovery line is pulled the YachtStrop/BoatStrop simply encircles the man overboard. With very little practice most people, including youngsters, can ensnare a person over  5 meters away. If you did not? No problem. You simply recover the YachtStrop/BoatStrop and instantly throw it again.
