You can also make your own pretty easily too. I generally recommend using polypropylene
line in a throw bag, as the
line floats and makes it easier to find/grab when it is in the water, and far less likely to wrap around your prop. Anything smaller than 3/8"
line is going to be hard on the hands when you're trying to pull the person in.
Just be aware that polypropylene is very susceptible to UV damage, and should be checked fairly frequently, and if left out in the sun, replaced every year. I have the throw bag pictured above, as well as a homemade one, and they live in the cockpit lockers on my boat, to prevent UV damage.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
