Heavy weight maintenance..

There are two items of heavy weight maintenance which I needed to do before the end of October.
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!
