This page contains a number
of photographs of Bagadeus below the waterline, taken just after delivery
to Opal Marine from the factory in Bavaria. Their main purpose is to
record her underwater details in case of problems, such as being snagged by a
lobster pot line. At such times it is essential to have an idea what is down
there, as a necessary precursor to dealing with the problem.
The saildrive
is equipped with an
Ambassador rope cutter, which in tests has been found to be the best cutter
available; this should deal satisfactorily with anything which
temporarily fouls the propeller.
