Every raft needs one and every rafter needs to know how to use it: Rescue Rope is a throwable bag with a length of rope inside that can be thrown accurately in an emergency. Rope is anchored in the bottom of the bag and is stuffed loosely so that it pays out through the top when thrown. A loop of rope protruding from the bottom of the bag provides a hand-hold for a victim or a place to secure the rope to a raft or tree. An attached nylon strap has a quick-release buckle so it can be snapped to a rowing frame or D-ring. Standard Rescue Rope is 12″ tall, 5-1/2″ in diameter, weighs 2-1/2 lbs., and contains 75′ of red and yellow striped 3/8″ floating pro-line.
