Apologies if my description is inaccurate. I am building ME214 Coastal Girl. I have photos and went to sea on her several times, but I just cannot recall how the boom for lifting the nets aboard was rigged.
The boom swung from the deck at the side of the wheelhouse and was held by chains at the mid point and tip. There was a double pulley rig and hook for lifting the net aboard but I can't recall the routing of the halyard to the winch on the foredeck.
Any ideas ?
-
Normally passed the roller mounted at the front corner of the wheelhouse [one on each corner] then to a guide in front of the winch
-
Ah ha ! Yes that's it :-) Thxs for reminding me
Now....
What was the purpose of the block and tackle that ran from the top of the mizzen to the foot of the main ?
I can see it in pictures but no idea of purpose ?

Hi, I think it was for lifting the top boom to raise the mizzen sail, nemesis
-
Sorry the derrick
on each side of the wheelhouse is for lifting the codend aboard believe me I used them
-
Hi, are they the ones that are called "A Frames" situated on the sides of the aft cabin.? nemesis
-
sometimes they are A frames or they can be goalposts when they come up each side of the casing and the bar across the top holds the blocks used for lifting the codend containing any fish
