One small step for the sailing community, but a huge leap for Trumph

5/7/2022

Today an additional pair of sheet winches was finally mounted in the cockpit. Thereby doubling the number. Selection of solution, manufacturing of wooden blocks according to chosen winches have taken some time. The installation  was planned for half a day, but in practice it took a full day due to the customary think errors and concerns regarding location. Not to mention  all forgotten tools and a wasp´s nest discovered in the quarter berth requiring insect repellent before elimination. All leading to numerous rowing journeys ashore.

The aft winch is mounted intentionally low in order to reduce the sheet angle, thereby reducing uplifting forces in the deck. The older front winches will be replaced and lowered. Photo ©Magnus Swahn
