Hello All, I have never really seen a lifesling in use but couldn't you just attach it to your mail halyard and winch the person in? Ian M-17 The mighty "Seaweeble"

I believe you would be hard pressed to 'hoist' a MOB into either a M-15 or M-17 with the boom - May be of assistance, and 1/2 way up is better than in the water! Would probably precipitate an even larger emergency in the form of capsize or 'self-induced recovery aided knockdown'-
Make sure the gooseneck is secured so as to not slide up in the sail track at the mast when using you boom as a gin pole/crane.
My suggestion for LS use is to get person back TO the boat and aid in recovery onto the boat - --My BoomKicker won't support me on the end of my boom! Heck my Boom won't support me if it was tied at the outboard end and the masthead with 3/8" line. Lifesling has more uses than hoisting. NFIW.
Wear your lifejacket and go sailing! (PFD)

has anyone rigged a lifesling (LS) on an M15 or M17? to hoist MOB, if my memory serves from the LS my folks had on the choey lee 32', requires hooking to the boom-end. can the M15/17 boom and/or gooseneck take this weight?
