Boat Maintenance on 58' charter yacht "Eccolan"
Solent yacht charter on Eccolan
In January, Eccolan was lifted out for annual hull cleaning and antifouling.

Eccolan in Cowes Yacht Haven - No masts!
Eccolan in Cowes - No Masts!

We took the boat across to Cowes, for Spencer Rigging to replace all the standing rigging (stainless steel) and most of the running rigging (ropes). See Video of mast refiting in Cowes:
While the masts were out, we took the opportunity to replace all the electrical cabling and fittings for lights and aerials. We've even added a "Windex" indicator for you dinghy sailors!
We've (mainly Gordon...) also rebuilt our generator and serviced all the winches onboard including replacement motor gearbox for the anchor windlass.
As some of you know Eccolan's sails do work for their living... we took the decision to replace the last two original sails in the wardrobe, so Shore Sails of Swanwick are currently making a replacement mainsail and mizzen sail - I'm sure we'll appreciate nice, clean, flatter sails!

There's been a lot of deck scrubbing and polishing, so Eccolan should be ready the next time you see her...
