If you buy the full Lifesling kit, it comes with a block and tackle to help pull a MOB back onto the boat. In 6’ seas, don’t expect to use a swim ladder to bring a hypothermic 200lb man back on the boat, especially if you are the lone person left onboard. Arguably, a ring buoy may be able to be thrown farther than the lifesling, but in each situation, the recovery method involves circling the swimmer to draw the recovery device to the person.
