What about the pebble and stone protection league as there must be breakages and decapitations occuring..?

[blackdiamondmarine]

im no expert, but i dont think that was a boat crashing into the beach. im gonna say that wasnt a boat at all.

Why the dislikes? A trawler indeed crashed onto a beach. Granted there were no explosions but still.....

chrisjones twice - This happens many times daily with fishing boats on Hastings beach. A tractor or a stationary engine will haul the fishing boat from the water up on to the beach, away from the incoming tide and up to the net houses where the fishing nets are hung to dry.

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

thanks for your explanation-youve laid my mind to rest on this one-honetly.

now could you explain how black holes work?

[jammyhartley]

Hello chrisjones twice, I asked this "bloke down the pub" your question, he stated that Black Holes are where the EU have sent thousands of fishing boats, putting many fisherman on the dole, also is where the many tons of good fish that are dumped back in the sea. As I didn't know the answer to your question I can't personally take any credit for this answer.

a-ha ,taking the topical route are we!

@jammyhartley-Dont mean to be funny mate but the days of hanging nets to dry are long gone,nice video

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

surely the question is why they did this?

[shofaruk]

@chrisjoneschrisjones Simple answer. The title is very misleading. It isn't "crashing" into the beach. This is how they come ashore.

The boat comes to land then a line is fixed to the bow and planks of wood are put down in front of the boat.

Then the boat is hauled up the beach by a tractor type of vehicle.As it rides over the planks they appear at the stern they are picked up and placed in front again. Until the boat is safely ashore and will not be affected by the tides. Hope this helps.

I like my fish battered!

[antiochus66]

hello..

did any of the crew survive the terrible crash?

[jammyhartley]

Yes antiochuss66, all the crew miraculously survived this calamity, but unfortunately the majority of the fish got battered !

[shofaruk]

@antiochus66 For a really good view of this type Fishing Boat Landing on Hastings Beach

[shofaruk]

@antiochus66 Also to see the planks being used type in " Launching of a fishing boat at Hastings" to see the same process in reverse.
