Wednesday 17th February


The Skylaunch winch that has been loaned to the club until our own winch is complete was delivered today by Pete (the winch) Salisbury. The weather precluded any launches but fingers crossed for Thursday and some instruction from PTW to the winch team who welcomed its arrival. It is mightily impressive and those who have been launched by it tremble in anticipation. It was towed nearly 200miles behind a 4x4 estate car so is clearly much more mobile than we are used to. Startup with cable is not related to any known problem!
