March Approaches

It is nearly March and bookings have been very strong with only a few berths remaining up to September.

Winter Maintenance Programme

The Main engine overhaul is complete at last, The engine mountings arrived after Christmas which enabled the job to be completed.

Corryvreckan did not come out of the water in January as planned and inconvenient weather and Tides has conspired to delay the haul out until March 1st when all being well she will come out for anti-fouling and more TLC

She will be relaunched toward the end of March and we will get on with the job of repainting the decks etc..

Various jobs are ongoing with many of the bilges being repainted, the rigging surveyed, re-carpeting being planned.

Most exciting, we are awaiting delivery of some tiny springs which we hope will enable us to repair some of the locker catches. It has taken months of research to find a supplier of these springs now that we have found the modern replacement catches simply do not work. Hopefully the "rubber band" solution will soon be a thing of the past.

After a long winter the new sailing season is starting to "loom" alarmingly, but hopefully the full maintenance programme we have undertaken this year will stand us in good stead as the systems have all been extensively overhauled and we can now focus on the "cosmetics".
