I am currently building Heller Chalutier Le Volantaire (L745) a french side trawler

The trawl is towed via starboard side through fore and aft gallows

The deck includes 2 windlass's and 3 bitts plus a larger roller post

Now my dilemma ………

How are the windlass's, warps and bitts rigged to allow side trawling to be undertaken?

I have endevoured to use google to obtain a trawl diagram but so far without success

Extremley grateful for a link to diagram or any other visual aide

Kind Regards

Hi Mark,

I have emailed you some images of the side trawler Navene which may be of some help. otherwise i'm afraid I don't know anything much about trawling mechanisms!

I have never been able to figure out how to post photos on the forum, but if you pm me with your email adress I'll make a sketch of the running wires, bridles and warps for side trawling and email them to you when I get back from the doctors, if that's ok .

neil.
