Tethered Rescue Platforms
Thursday, May 15, 2025 at 4:14PM It can be advantageous to create a Tethered Rescue Platform as an access tool. These techniques are both time and equipment heavy and may be difficult to perform with limited equipment.
Tethered Rescue Platforms
1. Controlled Boat Lower/Raise (Telfor Lower, Highline With Boat on Tether)
2. 2 Point Boat on Tether
3. 4 Point Boat on Tether
Many of these techniques require specific conditions in relation to both current as well as banks/shoreline. Suggest using "quicker/dirtier" techniques first.
Teaching Tip
This is often a time consuming skill that is rarely used in the boating community as it is very equipment intensive. It may be something you chose to drylands out for those of interest rather than a full on river session.
