Southerly Storm Mooring Lines
- Coastguard Mana
- Operation Details Date/Time: Thu, 13/07/2017 - 12:15 - 15:00 Operation Type: CG Operation (good samaritan) People Assisted: 3 Total Volunteer Hours: 16 Day 2 of a major southerly storm in Wellington took it's toll on vessels moored in the channel. We initially received a callout from Police to assist a 15m catamaran who's mooring lines had broken in the main channel. Police ended up putting their own small boat in the water and assisted him. Coastguard Mana then continued on and assessed other moored vessels, finding 2 with broken bow lines. One large launch had a secondary line that was holding the vessel on the mooring, but it was very small so we added a new line to it to hold in the 50kt+ wind gusts. Vessel Details Length: 10.00m Resources Attendees: Chris Darch Jake Jimmythekiwi Mark Presling Neil Cornwell Trevor Burgess CRV's Used: CRV Trust Porirua Rescue read more
