North Water - Regulation Throw Line
North Water Regulation Throw Line
A throw bag that outfitters and paddlers across Canada have trusted for years earns that reputation by working reliably every time it's needed.
The North Water Regulation Throw Line is a compact, dependable swimmer recovery bag that has been a staple in outfitter fleets and personal safety kits alike. The teardrop shape throws efficiently and accurately, and reflective tape makes it visible in low light conditions when a rescue situation doesn't wait for good weather or daylight. It meets Coast Guard requirements as a buoyant heaving line, so it satisfies Canadian safety regulations for powered and paddled watercraft, and clips securely to your boat for quick access when you need it most.
The 50' x 1/4" polypropylene multifilament rope is well suited to throw bag applications. High elongation of 6 to 8% gives the line some dynamic stretch to absorb the shock of a swimmer grabbing a moving line, while low water absorption keeps the bag light and the rope manageable after repeated throws. Rot and mildew resistance means it holds up through a full Canadian paddling season and stores without issue over the off-season. It also holds knots well, which matters for guides and instructors using it across a range of training and rescue scenarios.
