A Captains position

Actually two captains but Charles the captain of the yacht Umande, is hidden in the aft locker and doing some spanner works to secure his new emergency outboard bracket.


Captain Tojan, sort of crossed up, note his Scotty dog on the dock, he also wonders what his master is trying to do?


One of the nicer sides of the HBYC marina is the social side and the fact we are always ready to help others.


Job nearly done, in the end Tojan was doing the tightening and Charles was securing the other end inside the boat. Even I had a hand in this job as I made the 15mm plywood backer plates!


This stainless steel bracket is rated for 20hp but even with an 8hp motor on it the yeallow mount pad bends!
