I stumbled across this. Seems like it might be a good idea to have one of these just in case. For $44.95 it seems like cheap insurance.

BTW... I have no affiliation with these people. Just thought I'd pass along for information purposes.

Looks really effective, especially for coastal sailing, where the worst case scenario would involve an air rescue. A man-overboard-pole would probably be much more visible from the surface of the water, like in a rescue by boat. But as they show in the video, the orange plastic rescue streamer would make the swimmer much more visible from a helicopter or plane, that's for sure.

They even show us how to make some of them - orange plastic sheeting with flotation strips attached every 5 or 10 feet.

Nice idea! Thanks, Gary.

Now make it with SOLAS orange instead of plastic and you've really got something as it might work at night too. Nevertheless - a great offshore tool.
