Man Overboard Pole

Mar 21, 2018

  • Action: To Do List item B0018 – Repair/replace/delete man overboard pole.
  • Completed:  21 March 2018
  • Cost: $0.0

 

The man overboard pole was removed from its storage location mounted on the backstay shroud wire.  The severe UV degradation and cracks on the float section were attempted (unsuccessfully) to be repaired with excess fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin from other ongoing jobs.

With the replacement of the backstay shroud wire, To Do List item A0173, the white ABS plastic tubes that were attached to the backstay wire to store the man overboard pole, were decided to not be reinstalled on the new replacement wire.  With this decision, the UV degraded and crack man overboard pole was removed and deleted from Indra - not to be replaced. The pole was cut into about 2-foot sections and disposed of.
