SAFETY-OFF-STRAP (S.O.S.)

In addition to the traditional grab loop, the S.O.S. (Safety- Off-Strap) incorporates a one inch wide, flat nylon webbing that is stitched to the sides of the deck and extends across the top of the sprayskirt. Pulling up on the Safety Strap releases it from the sides of the coaming. A buckle for adjusting the tightness of the webbing keeps the strap taut along the top of the sprayskirt. S.O.S. is available on any Snap Dragon Neoprene Sprayskirt and on the Nylon Glacier model.

SOLO RESCUE ASSIST

The Solo Rescue Assist consists of a rugged, telescoping counterbalance device, approximately the size of a tennis racket, and a collapsible ladder-platform device (shown extended). Yellow collars provide flotation. The counterbalance is a rapid-fill collapsible bucket which automatically extends the telescoping arm about five feet by gravity. Re-entry with the counterbalance can be accomplished in under half a minute, with an additional few seconds if the ladder is deployed. Stability created by the SRA is suitable for up to almost 300 lbs.
