Déjà Vu SU 21, when they were hit by a rogue wave that caused the vessel to capsize (Fishing News, 25 October, 2018). The day after the incident, the MCA put a detention order on Déjà Vu. The catamaran was declared a total constructive loss and everything onboard was written off – although the EPIRB activated itself when the boat was righted alongside the quay. While the ring deck was damaged in a couple of places, the foredeck was ripped up like a sole coming off the bottom of a shoe. Since that incident, Pete has rebuilt Déjà Vu at Mudeford, before putting the catamaran back into the water and returning to sea. All restoration work was carried out by Seafish-approved boatbuilder GRP Profiles of Christchurch, Dorset, which also builds Patriot boats. The period of rebuilding included regular visits by MCA inspector Steve Chandler. Work progressed steadily before being fully approved, giving Pete Dadds final clearance to return to sea to do what he does best – some great support from fellow was not until this period that I potting off the Dorset coast. fishermen, and also from the realised just how lucky Martin Immediately and I were to survive after the capsize, – another 30 minutes Pete decided that I needed to reflect on the could have made he needed to take the outcome totally some time off to be incident, and most important different.” with his family.
