Phillips Bureau of Marine Fisheries California Division of Fish and Game During' the past three and one-half years the small lampara net boats at Santa Cruz have been operating with half as many men in a crew because of the installation of net-pulling gurdies. hi the spring of 1947, John Ceechini, captain of the lampara boat Anna Alma, hit upon the idea of mounting two modified shark gill net gurdies aboard his boat, each to pull in a wing of the net. This innovation proved successful and soon other Santa Cruz boats using lamparas installed similar gurdies. The basic part of these net-pullers is the rear axle assembly from an old ear placed upright on the deck with a wheel six to eight inches thick and about 16 inches in diameter mounted to the upper or free end (Figure 61). The edge of the wheel is concave like a sheave and lined with rubber to accommodate and grip the net. Power to turn the axle and wheel is applied to the lower end of the axle through a power takeoff from the main engine. The net-pulling gurdies are not stock models but are made 1 Submitted for publication September, Figure 61. The two capstanlike net pullers aboard the 35- foot Santa Cruz fishing boat Sal Boy.
