Our latest WCBR challenge - RS200 leaking around the pivot rod built into the centreboard case for centreboard to fit over/pivot round. We had to remove the centreboard to find the leak, and then gain access to do the repair, not as simple as it might sound! Steps explained here https://westcountryboatrepairs.co.uk/rs200-centreboard-leak-simple-repair-access-not-so-simple/

Very much looking forward to supporting the Noble Marine RS100, RS300 & RS600 Nationals this week, it's a good few years since I have been to Brixham YC, always such a warm welcome from the volunteers, plus many friends in the fleets. Great to see 600s from the very early days 30+ years ago racing alongside the newer 1000 sail numbers.

How posh are we? This isn't just any Feva, it's part of the new fleet at Harrow International School, Bangkok, supplied by West Country Boat Repairs. Ben Stainer, Head of watersport, said "There wasn’t much wind but we got your boats out! They are in great shape, and we are very pleased with them. Thanks for helping build our club at school Pete" Happy to help Ben 🙂. Let us know if we can help source boat(s) for you, UK and worldwide, from a single boat to a container full.

Good morning all. With just over a week to go until the Lakes Mortgages 2000 Class National Championships, we have a message from one of our other sponsors, West Country Boat Repairs:

"We at West Country Boat Repairs will be offering a boat MOT service on Saturday afternoon Aug 15th at Brightlingsea. We will check over your boat to try and make sure it is ready for the demands of a week of Nationals. We will have rope stock with us to replace any worn items.

This service will be running from 13.00-17.00 on Saturday afternoon. You can book a slot by contacting Pete Vincent on 07813 899043 or Grant Wilton on 07367 753365, or you can give give us a ring as soon as you get to Brightlingsea.

We will be bringing boat boat repair materials to try and keep every boat on the water the whole week. Note we will repair things that will stop people racing not small scale nicks"

Light use on a Wednesday night for an hour and everything might seem fine, but after the effort of towing, rigging and launching, your family holiday or nationals sailing experience can easily be spoilt by gear failure.
