| Résumé : |
The variety of fishing boats is vast. Even restricting the selection to the smaller types, there is still a wide choice, and it is in the field of small fishing boats that many specialized types of craft have been developed to meet local conditions. Some of these craft have been developed over hundreds of years, and represent the finest seagoing craft in existence.
The choice facing the fisherman is bewildering today. Traditional craft are still built but their costs are rising because they are designed to be built by traditional methods. Some of these designs have been adapted to modern materials such as glass reinforced plastic (GRP) and Fibrocement, whilst at the same time a new range of designs specifically suited to these new materials has emerged. In addition, there are many designs which are aimed at taking advantage of steel and aluminum construction.
Where does the fisherman go for advice when selecting a hull design for a fishing boat? If he chooses a traditional design he may miss some of the advantages which modern materials can offer.
Yet he cannot really afford to experiment; when he buys a new boat it has to last for perhaps twenty years. At the same time the boat has to be adaptable to changing fishing patterns which occur all too frequently these days.
The aim of this book is firstly to look at the shape of hulls, their performance, and the materials from which they are built. The length of vessel under consideration is arbitrarily limited to around 70 feet (21m); above this size fishing boats become ships, both in shape and construction, and the problems are different.
After hulls, the book will look at engines and the whole question of propulsion, the factors which make for reliability, so important in these days when no cost-conscious fisherman can afford to have to lay up his boat for repairs. Equally important is deck machinery and its installation because without this one cannot fish.
Electronic equipment is playing an ever-increasing role, both for navigation and for fish finding. How does a fisherman, with little training in the subject, select the best equipment for his purpose?. |
