A throwable rotateable rescue device having an outer annular chamber for winding storage of a retrieval cord and a connector therein and a loop therein engaged with a connector and cord, which is maintained in the annular chamber during throwing of the rescue ring to a person in distress, the loop extendable out of the annular chamber when the cord and connector are to be engaged or disengaged from the rescue device.

A man over board rescue system 100 may comprise a main body 200 with the main body quickly and easily being attached and detached to a ship's bitt. Thus, the system may be quickly set up prior to departing and quickly put away at the end of a voyage. The system allows for the fast and efficient rescue of a person overboard without need for a rescuer to enter the water or to risk bodily injury in retrieving a person in the water. The system provides secure mechanical means allowing for a winch to be used in the support of a person which is a significant departure from the prior art.
