Sea %nchor & 5a9serPurpo#e

The purpose of a lifeboat sea anchor is t9ofold i.e. it is to hold theboat in a position 9here it is heading into the 9ind and sea* and toreduce 9ind induced drift.y 6eeping the boat head to 9ind and sea the boat 9ill be on the mostcomfortable heading.n the case of an abandonment* a reduction in drift 9ill ma6e the tas6of the search and rescue operation easier as a result of the boatremaining as close as possible to the abandon ship position.

Con#truction

The sea anchor in a totally enclosed lifeboat 9ill usually be made of &synthetic material 9hich is porous and slightly stiff. t 9ill be conicalor pyramidal in shape 9ith a small opening at the ape>.

REPAIR OF ;.R.P BOAT

% gelcoat finish may often suffer from fouling* dullness or faded color.

%s a rule* the original finish can be restored by rubbing 9ith a fine=

grade rubbing compound follo9ed by a good rubbing 9ith polishing

9a>. This treatment restores both the color and the gloss.

Sometimes it 9ill be found that the treatment described abo!e is not

enough* or perhaps it is desired to paint the boat another color. n such

a case it is necessary to sandpaper the surface do9n 9ith a fine=grade

sandpaper0M$ or finer/ to gi!e it a mat finish. f this should e>pose

pores 9hich ha!e been encapsulated in the gel coat the part concerned

must be treated 9ith filler and re=sandpapering* polyester filler or resin

filler can be used. %fter sandpapering the entire surface should be

9ashed 9ith a strong sol!ent* e.g. acetone to get rid of such foreign

bodies as silicones* 9a>* and other contaminants 9hich may ha!epenetrated the finish. 8hen the preliminary 9or6 has been completed*

paint the surface 9ith polyurethane paint of the desired color.

Structural repair of this lifeboat must not be attempted by ships staff.

Should the boat be damaged* it must be remo!ed ashore to an

appro!ed 9or6shop 9ith controlled atmosphere and qualified

procedures. The appro!ing authorities 9ill require the correct repair

procedures be confirmed by the original manufacturer to guarantee

safety after repair.
