Abstract

A man overboard system may a main body 200 with the main body quickly and easily being attached and detached to a ship's bitt a deck bitt and/or a flat mount system, with the flat mount system attached to a ship, pier or other object. Thus, the system is very portable and may be quickly set up prior to departing and quickly put away at the end of a voyage. The system allows for the fast and efficient rescue of a person overboard without need for a rescuer to enter the water or to risk bodily injury in retrieving a person in the water. The system provides secure mechanical means allowing for a winch to be used in the support of a person which is a significant departure from the prior art.
