[QUOTE=freighterman;190702]I like crane signals. I think everyone would use those fairly often, when working on almost every type of commercial vessel. But bosuns chairs: how many different operations use bosuns chairs? Are they used often on tug and OSVs? Smaller vessels may them very rarely, when in fact a little knowledge my prove dangerous. What do others think?[/QUOTE]
Definitely crane signals. I’ve used bosun’s chairs a bunch on sailboats and a handful of times on ships to reach areas of the house for painting. Also stages for painting the exterior of the ship’s hull. I don’t have the experience to comment on tugs or OSVs.
PS I don’t see anything you should delete.
