Subscribers may remember that my Lofrans Kobra windlass failed in the Azores having only been fitted and used for less than 11 months on my Westerly Sealord. Now back in the UK and back to work I take a break from fixing customers boats and do some own-boat fixing by removing the windlass, replacing the motor and then refitting.
While I may not be off cruising for a while its nice to know its all working again.

For my day-job I run a small business repairing, maintaining and refitting sailing boats. I'm mostly in the central Solent area of the UK. Being a cruising and racing sailor with many thousands of inshore and offshore sea miles logged I like to think that I bring a great deal of real world experience to my work and help many new (and not so new) boat owners to improve and maintain their sailing boats. When I'm not fixing boats I also provide some own-boat sail training, help owners with deliveries and provide consultancy services to those that are refitting their own boats for cruising or racing.

Disclaimer - I hope that viewers both enjoy and learn something from my videos but please remember to take the appropriate precautions for any DIY refit works you undertake with appropriate PPE and the correct tools for the job. If you are in any way unsure as to how to go about a project or are unsure if something on your boat is safe please consult a professional.
