Good news, the sun is heading North which can only mean... Warmer weather, longer nights and plenty of opportunities for great sailing.
Great boats are made in the Winter. Being in first class condition requires a lot of maintenance and hard work which is exactly what Bella has had over the past few months.
As we near the end of Winter so does Bella's rest period. At the end of February, she will be back on the water ready for her busy season ahead.
During the winter, she received a few minor nips and tucks which included the interior that has been dry cleaned, new Led lights installed, as well as new hatches and side windows.
On deck we have upgraded some of the clutches, replaced the cockpit table, fitted a new throttle control, the stantions have been replaced and reinforced, bow lights changed to LED and the sails cleaned.
From a safety perspective all of the lifejackets have been serviced, the liferaft has been serviced and she has been re-coded.
Out of sight, the engine and gearbox have been serviced and the hull antifouled.
An enormous amount of effort and activity has gone into prepping Bella to ensure that we have an outstandingly safe, comfortable and fast boat for you to sail. Thank you to all you have helped in getting her in tip top shape.
We look forward to seeing you during the 2016 season on one of our many cruising, racing or mile building events.
