Servicing my 50 Year Old Winches... (Sailing Malou)

[@sailingavocet]

Woah those things were CRUSTY

[@SailingMalou]

Thats for sure! But now they are running smoother than ever :))

[@markbernier8434]

impressed you are still determined to sail.

[@ewantheboat]

In Britain we call those (inseyx?) keys either Allen keys or hex keys

[@SailingMalou]

Thanks Ewan! You got bloody hard words sometime :)

[@ewantheboat]

@@SailingMalou yeah English is a weird language 🤣 wish I could speak more than just English

[@SailingMalou]

@@ewantheboat you should learn Swedish of you want even weirder 😅

[@1218omaroo]

Good old Barlow/Barient/Francis winches. :) I've just replaced two of mine with Danish-made Andersen self-tailers who are owned, interestingly, by Ronstan - another Australian company. Good gear.

[@Martin_Skywatcher]

That was lucky finding an almost new sail for you sailboat, considering there are not a lot of them build if I remember correctly.

[@SailingMalou]

Very Lucky indeed! The sail is from a different boat modell. But the right size :)

[@kommos]

I followed you in the past adventures, but I think this would be more interesting! Waiting to see that sail in the sea, hoping to welcome your boat in the Med!

[@SailingMalou]

Thats amazing Kommos! Glad to have you onboard :) And see you in the Med some Day!

Insexnyckel = Allen key eller hex key Bra video, har köpt en Vega 27 förra veckan, och försöker snappa upp info om allt!

[@SailingMalou]

Tack! Allen key låter bra mycke bättre än Insexnyckel :) Kul med en Vega! Riktigt stabil båt

[@ulfhenriksson9628]

Har du kollat little boat adventures? Han har en Vega.

[@SailingMalou]

@@ulfhenriksson9628 nej den har jag missat. Får ta mig en titt :)

[@ulfhenriksson9628]

Servade mina vinschar. Hittade allt möjligt i dom som hundhår och färgflagor av en färg som inte finns på båten.

[@SailingMalou]

Haha, då kom ja nog billigt undan :)

[@TUNEin2Bliss]

Good video! I thought it was more complicated to service a winch. Can I know how much you paid for the second hand sail?

[@SailingMalou]

Thanks Sailing Livity! The sail was about 400 USD. So a bargain for sure 🥳

[@TUNEin2Bliss]

@@SailingMalou great deal indeed!
