Cockpit Jacklines - interfere with opening/closing lazarette hatch #618

Closed smr547 closed 11 months ago

smr547 commented 1 year ago

@pauljones17 reports:

The rear lifelines appear to interfere with the opening of the Lazarette, where the fire extinguisher and other safety equipment is stored.

@pauljones17

This seems to be a (potentially intractable) design problem. The lifelines are essential to safety yet they prevent access to equipment that is essential to safety. Two possible solutions come to mind:

  1. redesign the mounting points for the lifelines (such that there is no life line crossing the lazarette door), or
  2. relocate safety items lazarette to more accessible places

Given the limited stowage, option 2 seems impracticable. Option 1 severely restricts movement at the helm (introducing safety problem)

Can this problem be solved by installing the cockpit lifelines with adequate slack to allow the floor locker door to be lifted without interference from the lifelines?

@Christopher-w-green and @mrmrmartin could you please comment?

@pauljones17 and @peterottesen will interested

This has not been a problem during the current delivery passage. There is adequate slack in the life lines to allow them to be pushed to one side to gain access to the locker.
