More than a few meshes out

Time to rig the derrick again after the straightening out has been completed.....
whereas the mending continues along the wings of the trawl on the quay, clean ground trawls of 30 fathoms plus (a fathom equals six feet, just under two metres) contain a huge number of meshes that need cutting out and braiding.......
having the net off the ground makes this process a little easier.
