Description
The Ruth Lee manikin is designed for realistic man overboard search and rescue training in open oceans, streams, lakes, and other inland waterways. Built to replicate accurate human anatomy and weight distribution, it floats horizontally, vertically, or at a 45-degree angle to simulate a person in the water. Its tough nylon mesh carcass allows quick water penetration so the legs sink while the head and shoulders remain visible. With a dry weight of 40 kg (increasing to approximately 65 kg when retrieved), it provides realistic handling and recovery conditions for training exercises.
