Recovery Strops are used to heave up Rescue Boats in Rough Weather conditions. Recovering a rescue boat using Recovery Strops prevents damage to the rescue boat from the Floating Blocks in rough weather/Heavy seas and it's easier to secure the lifeboat to the falls with a soft strop rather than the Floating Block.
After making fast the Recovery Strops, Lifeboat is heaved to the deck level. Hanging-off Pendants are secured to an accessible point on the davit arm, in advance. Once the Lifeboat is brought to the deck level, secure the free ends of the Hanging-off Pendants to the lifeboat. Lifeboat is then lowered to slack the falls until the floating blocks reach lifeboat hooks. Recovery strops are then removed, and the floating blocks are secured to the lifeboat hooks. Lifeboat is heaved up a little, falls to be brought under tension and checked. If everything is under good order, Lifeboat is secured back to the vessel.
