Skipper David Stevens supervises loading a refurbished set of trawl doors aboard the twin rigging trawler, Crystal Sea II. The using of two trawls together rather than one equivalent larger trawl has proved highly successful for white fish boats.

The video below, commissioned by Notus, an electronics company that provides monitoring gear used by many of the bigger vessels gives an excellent overview of the work and setup involved.
