If the going gets tough, we just keep going

video of North Sea trawler in Beaufort 9 weather with fish hold flooded.  Great platform for our expedition yachtAnother Maaskant trawler designed by Herman Jansen - at a more quiet moment

A very cool video of a North Sea trawler in stormy weather (Beaufort 9) and its fish hold (220 m3/7.770 cubic ft.) full of water due to a broken pipe.  And still steaming ahead to port.  Talking about seaworthiness.  Our vessel’s damage stability will be even better then what you see here as we will add and re-adjust some watertight compartments.   

By the way, there are more ‘stormy’ video’s on that site.
