John Krgovich: Getting ready
for weather on a trip home we
made sure to tighten down the manhole on deck. After
and being heeled over from what was thought to be the ef
easter we found the manhole cover had come completely o
the boat was in fact a list from the seawater that was shippgetting into the port fish hold. This was a reminder to us all
of the single bar cross man hole cover and how important it
recheck all hatches before and during all voyages.
Michel Droin:I saw a seiner just about roll ov
one time, saved by a crewman with a sharp kni
Glenn Budden, Ocean Venture: We have learned and made it part of our herr
to tow the skiff with the painter under the drum core. This lowers the centre of
J ohn Radil, Canadian No. 1: We had a close call
with one of our vessels. While drying up, water started to
accumulate on deck and we started to list, pretty soon we were
knee deep in water before we finally recognized that the scuppers had
been blocked by the web. Once we cleared the scuppers and the water was
able to leave the deck we removed the free surface effect and gained backsome freeboard and reduced the risk of deck edge immersion.
Now we make sure to keep the scuppers clear at all times, drying up and
traveling. This one “thing” can make a difference in the chain of events that
can cause a capsize.
Len Brezden , K Roby:We had a real eye opener last season when o
overboard while stepping from the punt to the mothership. Fortunat
grab on to a tire hanging over the side. We struggled for a long time
back on board. There was no way to get a strap around him so final
ladder and put it over the side.
It wasn’t quite long enough but it did thetrick. This season we are going to keep a
ladder over the side whenever the guys
leave the mothership until they are safely
back on board.
Ross Holkestad, Royal Viking: When drying up we reduce the risk of the weight of the fleeted net raised by
from the top of the boom by using the doubles as a safety and strapping the fleet to the rail or a cleat . This h
the center of gravity and we can make a quick release if necessary.
Gordie Wasden , Odysseus:
When things happen on a
boat they happen quickly. To
ensure that we can handle a
situation quickly and safely we have colour coded our hydraulicson deck.
It takes away the guess work. Up on the singles becomes up
on the red. The lever is red, the gearmatic
is red and the hook is red. Even if someone
is not familiar with the operation of the
deck, as long as theyknow their colours
we will have removed the potential
for a mistake.
