Middleton's Rescue Equipment.

Northwater 

Pig Tail
15TL-05c
Tow boats and swimmers to shore with a bungy tow and rescue line.
The D-ring attaches to the back of a PFD on a quick-release belt. The carabiner clips to the front for quick access. It stretches to almost five feet and comes with a carabiner and stainless steel D-ring. In a pinned or broached situation, a pig tail allows a pinned or entrapped person to assist a rescuer in extricating him or her.

Once a throw bag is thrown to the victim, he can clip the end of the line into the carabineer of the Pig Tail. The rescuer now has a line attached to the back of the victim’s PFD. This greatly increases the options in how to carry out the rescue. If your PFD does not have a quick-release belt, check out our QR belt.

Quick Release Belt (QR)
15TL-05b
Built for those lifejackets or PFDs that do not have a quick-release chest harness, you can turn your PFD into a rescue jacket. A QR Belt in conjunction with a Pig Tail or Extrication Line enables you to do a strong swimmer or tagged rescue, or tow a swimmer or boat to shore with the safety of releasing yourself or the swimmer if required.
This type of system is invaluable in a pin or entrapment situation. On the back, stainless steel sliders keep a D-ring from a Pig Tail or Extrication Line in place.
On the front is the quick-release buckle. This belt is fully adjustable and has the required 1200 lb. rating.

Quick Link
15TL-05a
This is a small 5 foot tow line that is stowed in a small pouch and attached to a quick- release belt. This gives you a quick tow line. If you release it, it floats.
Perfect for the weight-conscious paddler.

Small Regulation Throw Bag 55’ x 1/4"
Great for sea kayak, canoe, or fishing rental fleets, these are built to bring your boats up to Coast Guard regulations.

Small Wedge Throw Bag
This is a hot piece of gear for any paddler. The unique aerodynamic shape lets you get more distance out of your throw. The low profile of this bag allows you to tuck it away inside your boat or your PFD. Very small and compact with a wide mouth for re-stuffing.
Available in two colors; black with a 1 1/2" strip of reflective tape that goes around the entire bag and red. Both are highly visible and look great.

Small Throw Bag
We make all our signature small Throw Bags easier to stuff. The bag is longer and the mouth is bigger; small enough to fit under your deck and long enough to address most situations. We make several types, but all are made with 420 military spec. pack cloth with a water repellent coating. We use nylon webbing rather than poly-pro and 300 lb. test buckles. They are used widely by rescue personnel and other professional agencies.

  Double braid Spectra pack cloth  10TB-20b

Ropes

3/8 inch polypro float rope: 45 cents a foot.
