Beam trawler E-33 'William Of Ladram' leaving Brixham Harbour and crossing Torbay around 2pm on 5th October 2016 into an Easterly wind, gusting up to around 40mph
After 52 years sailing the pacific and Asia I love these well designed boats. Spent a lot of time off the New Zealand Coast where we had some good designs also.
There's something hipnotising in this video; it's like listening to a good symphony. I spend 14:07 of my life watching a trawler cutting through waves and it was worth of it.
cool footage... there's a lot more rough weather footage of boats nowadays on you tube... I've been a fisherman for 23years and appreciate the raw footage..thanks
Good footage, thanks for sharing. I used to have a small wooden potter running out of Brixham. When the wind was strong and from the East it would blow straight in to the harbour and make it quite choppy even inside. When it was like this and I rounded the end of the breakwater wall, you would suddenly get the full force of it, ...seemed 3 times as strong and rough straight away !
@@UraFlight I will look when we go to Milford-we have not been because of Lockdown ! I have photos of Z-47 (Black Hull) and Z-98 (green hull .) can't see what the names are .most are Ze Brugge registered .
I remember watching the boats leave and return; some on calm days and some on days like this. My brothers would always tease me that I wouldn't see much as I was too busy puking over the side.
wish she were mine, I'd sail the world rare to see a MFV with no rust stains, painting is the key after the sandblast 75 microns 2 pack zinc, the 300 microns W.F.T high build quality epoxy, then your colour coats , 25micron is one thou. so you are 3 thou. 12 thou then your colour coats, painting the right way is very expensive, there are no short cuts love that engine how'd I know this? well i was a builder in NZ
Thx for posting. 2 questions, how long is she, about 80ft? and what is she fishing for? pollock/fish/crabs? also, the wheelhouse seems to be a fairly new addition?
Yes Phil, about 80ft. She is a beam trawler most likely targeting bottom feeders, eg mixed flat fish species. No shellfish, they're caught by potting, not with trawl nets. Hope this is usefull to you. The wheelhouse is standard design and was original to the build of the boat. (Owned by Carters of East Devon - 5th generation farmers and fisherman) - their main 2 companies are known as Greendale and Waterdance. Good folk, they used to buy all my whelks from me.
Normal Breeze and seas there. I come from Hartlepool N.E Coast. was a deckie there in the mid '50's We go out for cod in winter. That is good seas. and she's light. IE Empty. Much deeper, and stable on way back (providing she had a coupla good shots.) we had to carry our ice too in those days. icemakers didn't exist. Lotsa shovelling the kits. You'll normally find too. That the strong breezes with tide. Tend to flatten the seas off. Till you get offshore a bit. It just blows the crests off over wheelhouse. We had open decks too. not much in way of cover decks like today.
