EP 60: Safety Talk: LifeSling Refit & Installation - Sailboat Safety Equipment

Well I had a little side project so I figure I do a video about it.
In evaluating safety equipment, Reverie came with a LifeSling, if you do not what it is, it is a safety device that consists of a floatation device and a line. You use it in emergency situations when you have to recover a man overboard.
Well back to Reverie, it had a LifeSling, but the bag was a complete disaster. In most instances people just throw the whole thing away and buy a new one; but when you are on a budget a $300 lifesaving is a little expensive, so in looking for options, I was able to find a good compromise to bring this safety piece of equipment back into service.
Hope you enjoy this update.

Thank you for your video. Important subject neglected by too many.

Thank you for watching!

Great video - the boat I just bought came with a lifeSling, which wasn't tied to the boat. I will be tying it the next time I'm at the boat, thanks
