La Cattiva Seaway Powell supplied 2 new Vangs( main/mizzen),2 new Backstays with mechanical lock and 3 new Pumps. We also serviced and upgraded 10 Seaway Captive winches and serviced all the valve blocks for control of the winches. Also the upgrade and service of the hydraulic system, replacing all pipe work from the valve blocks to the winches.
S.Y Fleurtje Seaway had 7off the C12500 bronze capstans returned to our works for upgrade. This was to increase the heave load from 6000 lb to 9000 lb, to cater for the increased sail area. To obtain the extra 50% heave load we had to re-design to gear box and fit new electric motors. This work was carried out over a period to reduce of out of commission time. The drums were polished and sent back into service. The winches were installed in Antigua by our engineers. A picture of these winches can be see before the gear box and plinth are painted on our About Seaway page.
