Harken Fosters are hosting a Tech talk for sailors wanting to understand the correct way to strip and service winches.

You need to know this if you have a winch failure, offshore or away cruising, and as part of your regular maintenance on the marina, to extend the life and efficiency of a vital part of a yacht's sailing equipment.

Come and learn how to strip down and service a winch like the professionals.

21st June @ 6pm - Harken Fosters Building - 129 Westhaven Drive.

All welcome.
