TRANSCRIPT
Completed Lifebuoy SystemInnovation for Boating Safety
Principle: The CLS is designed for both "on-board" and "shore" use.
It was developed as an "on-board" device for recreational vessels in sheltered and coastal waters, but it also works well in open waters and on commercial vessels.
As a "shore" device, the use of CLS is highly recommended in swimming pools, beaches and marinas.
Theory 1: Recreational boating in sheltered waters
According to this theory, generally there is only one qualified person on board of a recreational boat in sheltered or coastal waters. He/she is known as the skipper. The others are guests (family members, friends, colleagues) who are not familiar with boating and are not qualified crew members. In case of an emergency (e.g. Man Overboard), a coordinated effort of at least 2-3 people is needed. This means that the captain has to involve untrained outsiders in the rescue process, which can lead to delays or stalling of the rescue. For this reason, rescue equipment needs to be improved so that untrained people can provide useful assistance even in stressful situations.
Rescue From the Shore
Rescue from the shore (in ports, beaches, swimming pools) can be carried out by untrained people also. They should use equipment that is easy to use from the shore, even without training or routine.
Theory 2:
Conventional equipment
Ring Buoy
Horseshoe Buoy
Buoyant Cushion
Throwline
Parts:Parts:
• Practice required• Preparation required• Slow operational process• Slow repeated throws
Drawbacks: • Difficult to grab; no comfortable grip• Short throwing distance• Low throwing accuracy• Difficult for the victim to take a safe
position
Main parts: Plastic handle with rope holder and V-cleats for easy rope handling and the secure grip of the rope.
Floating lifeline with two carabiners for easy and secure attachment.
Load transfer harness with strap handle and holder pockets. It gives obvious attaching point for the rope, prevents the floating device’s damage and makes the lifebuoy easy to throw.
A throwable rescue device (type IV PFD) that you already have and can come from any manufacturer on the market.
