Winch Servicing and Repairs…

Our winches take a bit of a pasting, don’t they – really hard working pieces of the boat. Having a winch you can maintain is an important subject.

At the weekend, the very important subject of winch servicing and repair came up. I guess in our fleet we are pretty evenly split between RMG and Stinger.

The key piece of advice is to always keep your MYA Members Year-book on hand. In there, you will find the UK companies supporting the various winch manufacturers. For myself, I’ve had great support on my Stinger winches from K7yachts. Contact details are all in the MYA year-book.

Marblehead-uary … February Marblehead Events!!

February will turn out to be a big month for Marbleheads at Datchet…

We have Marblehead GAMES2 on Saturday 15th and a two day Ranking Event on the weekend of 22nd/23rd February.

So two things:-

1/. If you are going to enter, please load your enrolment via the MYA Events page so we can see where we are on numbers.

2/ If you are not racing, but would love to help out, then our Sailing Secretary, Hugh, is calling for volunteers for the event roster. If you do not have Hugh’s contact points then just drop us a members-whatsapp or pop us an email on the CONTACT page of this website. (see menu bar above). All hands really welcome. Loads to do.

Sunday 19th January – Marbleheads !!

Even with three top members away at Poole today (IOM), we still had a super eight boat fleet of Marbleheads – six of which were F6’s!! Rob and CJ Vice were with us, which was great!! Racing was frankly fantastic!! Light swing rig breezes and HM as always set a great course. Great chatter in the clubhouse too, which in itself was snug and alluring!! It didn’t rain or anything but the temperature probably topped at 2 degrees 🙂
