Throw lines provide an accurate way to deliver a line to a person in the water or to pass a messenger line to another boat. The 70′ Throw Rope is safety yellow with foam inserts inside the bag for added buoyancy and SOLAS reflective tape which makes it easy to see. Both Throw Ropes are constructed of a length of specially braided polypropylene 3/8″ line that floats indefinitely. Both meet ORC specification 4.24 for ocean racing 2200 lb. breaking strength Practical-Sailor Quote… “..we found West Marines Deluxe Throw Rope to have the most consistent performance. Yes, its the second-most expensive, but we think its worth it.”
here is the simple method of using a poly ball and stainless ring to “float” an anchor. This was shot in 200′ of water with 350′ of rope out, using a 16 lb Mighty Mite reef anchor. It sure beats hand pulling a heavy anchor, and it works with all types of anchors.
We were out filming Greg in his boat when he hit the wave behind the boat at the wrong angle and too fast. Boat speed was around 70 mph. Greg’s Life Vest and kill switch SAVED HIS LIFE. He was unconscious for about 10 minutes. As you can see the boat never turned over. Greg suffered a broken collarbone. I’m showing this in hopes that a lot of you Bass Boat Drivers have gotten lazy about putting your Vest on and hooking up your kill switch. All of you have hit a suprise wave from out of nowhere at speeds of 70 mph or more. Don’t let this happen to you.
