Told you so ...

Had an interesting day on Sunday. SWMBO had just got the anchor of the bottom. Engaged gear ahead. Horrible noise from the bowels of Pyefleet Creek. Reverse. Worse. Sail back down the Wallet to Walton & limp into our berth in slow-ahead.

On Monday, told the engineers that something nasty was happening; sounds like loose anode?

Today get lift-out & guess what?

So it's some work for the engineers (nice young man)

And we're back in business and not a penny to pay /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Your prop fell off?

And you got a lift-out for free?

 

[johnalison]

No; the top photo shows the ring-anode is not attached. The engineer had to remove the prop to replace it.

Forgive me, not up 2 speed on these new-fangled sail drive gizmos.

So you got an anode and a lift-out for free? Coz the yard hadn't done that which it was supposed to do?

 

[johnalison]

Didn't even have to argue the point

See you plough the fields with the bottom foot or so of your fine craft then? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
