Rescue Net sizing Calculator

The rescue net sizing calculator serves as a tool to easily understand what type of net is needed for your vessel.

All rescue nets must extend into the water by 1.5m-2m in order to be used effectively; this calculator ensures this extra length is accounted for.

Before Choosing a Recovery Net

Confirm the net complies with local and international safety standards (USCG and SOLAS).

Choose a minimum width of 4 ft (1.2 m) .

Use the sizing tool below to ensure the net extends into the water by 2 meters.

The design should allow recovery of an unconscious person in a horizontal position.

Where possible, select a net that is lightweight and can be deployed without a mechanical lifting device.
