Reliable lifeboat hooks are important for ensuring that the lifeboat won't launch before users are good and ready. Fear of hook failures has often held crews back from performing necessary drills, and the reputation of lifeboats and rescue craft as a reliable safety measure has suffered. But with the right hook design, users and their crew don't have to worry.
