Well done to the team at Selby Park School for winning the 2008 Formula Schools Championships.

We have been sponsoring the team of young designers at Selby Park school, providing them with glass and kevlar fiber composite technology supplies and advice on mold plug techniques to help them reduce the weight of their racing car.

Credit to them for designing and building a winning car and we look forward to helping them with their title defense next year.

I would like to thank John Archer, Senior Yacht Broker for West Water Yacht Sales, for his generous help, time and friendly service.

Whilst collecting a Southerly 110 yacht for one of our customer’s for delivery from their base at Walton on the Naze in Essex, he gave up much of his valuable time to help us solve a number of problems.

I would highly recommend West Water Yacht Sales simply for their level of customer service. Thank you John.

We offer a professional splicing service for all our Braid on Braid, Anchorbraid and 3-Strand rope.

We have just added the first eye splicing options to the Nautical Rope website so you can order your splices online.

More options for stainless steel eyes and rope to chain splices will be added soon. We hope this makes things more convenient for everyone.

We have spent three months working on a contract on the island of St Lucia out in the Caribbean.

We were initially asked to deliver the 39 foot yacht Innuendo from St Lucia to Norway, but unfortunately on arrival in St Lucia, we found the yacht was in no fit state to make an Atlantic crossing.

We were asked by the owner to make the necessary repairs to the yacht so that it would be able to make the crossing.

This included:

Inspecting the keel bolts

Replacing the entire electrical system

Replacing all the running rigging

Repairs to the engine gearbox

Replacing the fresh water system with new pipework

Repairing the companion way steps

Installing a new SSB radio and autopilot system

Unfortunately, after all our hard work, we only managed to sail a couple of test sail trips down the coast and back.

The repairs had taken up all the time we had planned for making the crossing and other work commitments meant we were unable to make the delivery once the yacht was ready.

Working out in St Lucia was often hard work and unpleasant. Working upside down in the bilge of a yacht in forty degrees centigrade is not pleasant. It was however an interesting and rewarding experience.

We have a full two page article in the February issue of Motor Boat Monthly on how to fit your Hub Flush kit.

The Hub Flush kit has been received well into the marine market. The excellent new product has been taken on by one of the chandlery giants and is now in the new Mailspeed Marine catalogue.
