The coroner's concerns
1. overstressed fall wire
“The fall wire of MV Tombarra's rescue boat failed because the winch electric motor was capable of easily overstressing the fall wire to the point of failure”
2. failed safety switch
“Anelectronic switch, fitted to the rescue boat davit onboard Tombarra, failed to operate and stop the winch motor”
