Nice Paul! Are the outriggers used to stabilize the boat? In the
Netherlands our 'Boomkor-kotters' (fishing vessels with a certain type of
fishing rig) use similar outriggers to tow their nets over the seabed.
Probably not feasible on the open oceans...

Yes, I think they are used to stabilize the boats, they may use them when
they are hauling in.
They always put them up when they get close to the channel, I guess they
don't want to
take out any smaller boats :-)
