In the course of the last few weeks I have got to know a local family, through teaching guitar to the eldest son. By chance this family also sail, and by even more freakish chance, they too have bought a seawych. ('OG' - see pic from an earlier post). So there has been a lot of seawych chat in between guitar sessions. A friend of theirs also owns a 'wych, which had been rolled on its mooring on the east of the island. Having been moved to the car park near by, it was to be scrapped.
Not ones to miss such an opportunity, the owners of OG and myself spent a happy few hours stripping anything that wasn't bolted down, and many things that were. The haul includes:
Kettle, crockery, boom, anchor and chain, mooring rope, winches, main mooring cleat, wooden locker covers, rudder, autohelm, megaphone, compass, and plenty more.
No doubt there are 'wych owners who read this who wish we'd taken off the metal pupit and the stern rails,and probably lots more besides but time was limited and it was raining and getting dark.
