Boat hooks.

The most common kind I see are the telescopic ones that can come apart in the middle completely if extended to far or not tightened up properly if lifting something heavy. So I alway recommend carrying 2 one to fish the other out with.

knicker elastic alternative

Very good point. I think it's better to attach knicker elastic inside the two tubes, so if the inside tube falls out it dangles on the elastic and can be twanged back onboard. I wonder what solution ccscott has?

Two, wood with bronze heads, with a loop of floating line attached to fish them out with, telescopic ones belong on a boating lake with model boats! IMHO of course!

You get a password Dom, something innocuous like "St. Helier!", that you call out when you want them to stop. Apparently.
