drisse d'homme

French to English Tech/Engineering Ships, Sailing, Maritime
This is from a document on rigging of a ro-ro wind-powered ship, I can not quite understand what it corresponds to and I have no picture I can only give you a list of elements from the chapter on hoisting the "foc souple"

• Foc
• Transfilage drisse et amure
• Poulie écoute de foc
• Cas hissage 1 :
o Drisse de hissage du foc 150m
o 2 poulies de renvoie pour écoute de foc
o 2 élingues 500 kg 2 m
o 3 manilles 1T
• Cas hissage 2
o Drisse d’homme
o 1 élingue 500mm
o 1 manille
o Un réa

Does anybody have any ideas?
Thank you very much

Bosun's chair halyard
Mpoma Aug 30, 2023:
Seems that it might be ... "bosun simple halyard" from Samuël's link. 1 ghit from that, Samuël's site.

Or it might possibly be a life-saving rope. Google images led me here : https://sailing-stream.fr/un-autre-regard-sur-la-recuperatio...
