Well done to RNLI and GAFIRS. The lifeboat guy went over with the trawler as it sunk and was pulled out by GAFIRS. Shows how quickly disaster comes. Again well done rescue crews

BBC News - Skipper and crewman rescued from sinking Portsmouth trawler
Both the Portsmouth RNLI Atlantic 85 and the Independent Lifeboat operated by GAFIRS were tasked to assist this vessel. Both boats were onscene within minutes of the May Day call being transmitted. Just as well really as the vessel didn't wait too long to sink !!!!
Have to take my hat off to the Pompey lifeboat crewman who assisted both skipper and crew off the vessel in difficult conditions and remained very calm in the face of imminent danger of the vessel sinking.
I greeted him with "Welcome aboard" as he climbed over the transom !!!

Fair play to them the conditions looked poor. I dont see why the lifeboat crew even boarded it I would have just told the crew to abandon ship it was clear it was about to topple over.

Im sure there will be an investigation seems to be quite a significant detail with a sinking so soon after. I wonder if they will recover it or leave it on the seabed.

They do.
I heard one happening over the VHF not too long back. The skipper called in water ingress while fishing some 15 Nm north of Ireland. The CG launched EVERYBODY. A matter of a few minutes later the skipper advised the CG that his crew where in survival suits and taking to the liferaft. Moments later she sank. When the helo got on scene there was just the raft and the four lads - waaaay out in the blue. Interestingly, the RNLI got there just as the last man was winched, so fair does to them too.

Yup.
First we had four members making offers on a fastfisher
Now a closet (or is that sail-locker?) WAFI
God help us if you go soft and start havering about Nelsons and Cabin ribs.
This forum is going downhill - too many Urges and not enough Purges...

LOL went to Poole took all day nice night out in the town but bit chavvy for me though .
Then took all day to sail back realised why I gave up sailing as takes so bloody long and wife likes to chat,she can't if the engines are roaring and it only takes a hour and a half on the V40
Am back on the Power this week thank god, running a PWC Instructor course and Powerboats at the weekend .

MAIB have primacy on any investigation and their evidence cannot be used on any criminal enq so police have to go over same old ground Maib have covered
MAIB is to look at prevention and reasons and not to apportion blame

That's them. I trust that the RNLI will be bunging a few quid into their collecting box!
