Abstract
A raft supporting fall extends over a pulley at the end of a davit mounted on a platform. The fall hangs down from the pulley at a spaced-apart position from the edge of the platform. A recovery line in the form of a loop extends around the davit and over guides from the platform to a position near the pulley. The recovery line is connected to the fall by an extension line on the end of which is a fall retainer through which the fall passes. The fall is recovered by pulling the recovery line towards the platform with the fall having a predetermined portion hanging below the retainer so that as the fall is being pulled into the platform there is a sufficient amount of line to reach the platform.
