I have been looking for this solution for a long time and consider it vital for survival if, as a one-handed glider, hanging from the lifebelt, you should go overboard. It would be the only way to get back into the cockpit! In that case, you can not get to the ladder because you are in the water at the side of the boat, and the lifeline is too short for that. Only possibility therefore 2 rolled up rescue ladders Sb. + Bb., At the side of the cockpit at the Reeling, mounted! Should every one-hand glider, in addition to the Lifebelt, as survival essential more important than the life jacket, own. Lifeline so that you stay connected with the boat, escorts to get back into the cockpit !!! Moin, Segelopa!
