Many fishermen consider stability one of the most confusing aspects of their profession. While the subject can be complex, the underlying principles are not. Instructor William George, author of Stability and Trim for the Ships' Officer, is world-renowned for his ability to help fishermen understand how the shifting of weights and actions of moments affect the safety of their vessels.
This interactive workshop explains the underlying principles of stability, and also addresses specific fishing vessel concerns, such as icing, water on deck, recovery of fishing gear, and storage of the catch.
