Sea Kayak Contact Line
The purpose of this device is to enable a short line contact rescue of one sea kayaker by another sea kayaker by connecting the carabiners to the deck lines of each boat. Suitable rescue training must be undertaken before using this device.
Adjustment
The cam buckle allows adjustment of the length of the line. Simply open the buckle and slide the yellow webbing to adjust. Leave at least 25mm of “tail” out of the buckle.
Security
For the Sea Kayak Contact Line to have the correct effective strength the cam buckle must be backed up by the D ring. Failure to thread the yellow webbing through the D ring may result in the webbing sliding through the buckle under load. Flat side of the D ring flush with the edge of the buckle
Quick Release
Pull the red toggle OR pull the tail of the yellow webbing to release the line. With a slight applied tension that will allow the yellow webbing to slide out of the buckle and disconnect the two kayaks.
Care – after use wash device in fresh water, clean any dirt out of carabiner gates.
