A device (b) for recovering an object or person (a) from water comprises an object attachment point (f), for attaching the device to the object, and an inflatable and/or buoyant target element (c). The attachment point and target element are linked by an extendible line (d) which is extendible when placed under longitudinal pressure. The extendible line may be packaged within a cylindrical package. A winch connection point (e) may also be provided on the extendible line, proximal to the target element. Such a "Man Overboard Recovery System" allows a vessel to remain under proper control in difficult weather conditions when dealing with a casualty recovery situation. |
