Batten down the hatches
| Глоссарий морских терминов (рангоут, такелаж, устройство судна) |
- To prepare for inclement weather by securing the closed hatch covers with wooden battens so as to prevent water from entering from any angle.
- A hatch (or hatchway) is an opening in the deck which allows people or cargo to move from one level to the next. it is surrounded by coamings (raised frameworks to prevent deck water pouring in) and covered with trapdoor-like covers. when foul weather is expected the hatch is “battened down” by stretching a tarpaulin across the covers and securing it with battens. the phrase has been taken into common usage to mean preparing for a difficult problem or crisis.
