The first was to remove the opening portlights, which were starting to corode, and to carry out some preventative maintenance to stop that. I had expected that getting them out would be quite difficult - but was pleasantly suprised So far the score's one - nil then.
This weekend's task - part two - was to lift the windlass for some on bench style in depth maintenance.
Success ! the windlass came free suprisingly easily |
I'm not saying that this was an easy thing to do - but was just a bit awkward and required a bit of heave ho to lift it clear. Most importantly - no damage to boat or boater - other than a grazed knuckle.
Still, that's a Westerly for you, you know!
