I met this couple back in 2012 when they were in Houghton, MI. The had just bought that Lifesling and were trying to figure out how to use it. He was figuring out where was the best place to attach to the boat and then show her how to use it.Here is a interesting blog. I follow a lot of the Ranger tug blogs as a trailerable trawler intrigues me.

I hollered over to them, how you going to know if it works if you don't try to lift someone. I could see there was no way he was going to teach her and be in the water at the same time, so I volunteered to be their test dummy. That Lifesling wasn't much. He could barely pull me up, she didn't even try. He was a bit disappointed in it but showing some optimism he said 'well, it's better than nothing'.
