Ever tried pulling a man back up over the side? I'm strong with good
reach and I couldn't do it -trying to lift while reaching out robs you
of strength -let alone having to stay on the boat yourself!

Cheers

take a halyard and he or you can snap the other harness line to it.
Can then lift him out of the water with a halyard winch.


OK, that makes sense. I didn't realize you were talking about hauling a
man out of the water.
