Those little stainless discs you see on the deck are where you screw in eyelets for lashing.

Methinks breaking out the vessel's deck cargo securing manual might be a worthwhile exercise.

My guess is that that tie down job is only meant to suffice in the marina, and that something else will be done underway. Where do they keep the tender? It seems like a little sub like that could find a home on the boat if a 22 ft tender managed to.

It lives permanently on the swim platform. I've never looked terribly closely at the tie downs, but I know for a fact that they've made some pretty rough crossings with no troubles.

The sub has been there on the platform everysince they got it! What I have not understood is how do they launch and retrieve it? The Aft sun-deck crane has the reach and capacity for that? or is there a crane hidden in the platform? Has anyone seen the sub being launched and retrieved?

Maybe their insurance company has a good sense of humor.

I know the Captain and am pretty sure there are some serious tie down points - he has been in this business for a long time and is an experienced seaman. I guess that when the pics were taken they had merely tied it up temporarily while washing. I think you will find there are some pretty hefty eye bolts that screw into some of those pads in the deck.

Hi,

The Eye Bolts can be as big and heavy as you like, the real strength in the whole system is how the Stainless Bits they screw into are secured.

I have seen some that were routed in and secured with screws and Sikaflex ( like 5200), I have seen others that were made to screw through the deck material and into a retaining nut the same diameter as the fitting o.d. visible from above deck, I know for sure which ones I would rely on in heavy weather with a big chunk of gear like that attached to them.

Link of Mind Games hitting the dock the sub appears to be covered and on the dock. From the hit to the Dock it would appear that the tie downs work very well! Looks like the wind got the best of the captain!
