Proper maintenance of foul-weather gear requires protecting the durable water repellent (DWR) coating, which prevents the face fabric from wetting out and losing breathability.0:47 When the DWR wears off, moisture saturates the outer layer, causing the garment to cling to the body and lose heat-retention properties.2:28 Effective gear for cold, foggy conditions typically features a rubberized outer face fabric and a thick insulating interior, such as Polar 300, rather than relying solely on breathable membranes.3:14

Technical operations on deck include managing winch loads and preventing injury. Operators must keep hands clear of the winch drum to avoid entrapment, specifically avoiding the "thumb-in" grip, as the joint size prevents extraction if pulled into the mechanism.22:25 A minimum of three turns on the drum is required to grip a line effectively, while a single turn acts only as a stripping turn.26:34 When loading a winch, the line must remain within 15 degrees of the horizontal plane to prevent overrides.24:40 A safety turn over the self-tailer secures the line for unattended use.25:47
