Default Self Bailing

Most boats today are "Self Bailing". That means that any water that comes aboard over the rail, via spray, or whatever..Drains away automatically through overboard drains.

NOT the case with this Longship. Every splash of water that comes aboard has to be pumped overboard on a regular basis...Manual pumps.... or electric. NB
