From: Dave Kruger > > No, those were not anchors. They were standard stabilizers. They are heavily > built so they will sink into the water enough to stabilize the boat yes, so they say. back in the '70's i was on a Duke U Marine Lab trawler with stablizers. the boat was a gift to the lab (read tax write off). we were out just a bit in coastal North Carolina waters... that boat wasn't worth 2 cents. with the stabilizers down, it rolled excessively and had almost continuous water coming across the deck. on the way back to port, we rename her from the 'deWolf' to the 'De Ralph' i detest boats with stablizers. bye bye bliven *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Jul 10 2000 - 16:28:44 PDT
