In addition, attempts to control size can lead to adaptations that are inefficient or are not seaworthy.
Could it have been an innovation nurtured on the rivers - a new and more seaworthy form of skin boat, for instance?
Secondly, modern inshore fishing vessels are faster and more seaworthy than they were, and the inshore fishery is effectively extended to six miles already.
That means that they have to prove they sent out a vessel which was seaworthy in every sense; that she was properly equipped.
If a ship is reasonably seaworthy, then whatever its design it is certified.
Are those boats being fully maintained in a seaworthy condition, with serviceable engines and other equipment available for them at short notice?
Only seaworthy vessels over 10 m holding valid fishing licences will be eligible to apply.
I cannot agree that the ship was not in a seaworthy condition or that it was purchased at a high rate.
