Supporting local sailing club
At the RYA Dinghy and Watersports Show, we had the pleasure of meeting Adrian from Mudeford Sailing Club and listening to his concerns with their members safety. Adrian also explained that their safety boat is not only used for general club purposes, but to support other events where people have no training or experience with being recovered/rescued from the water, and after “losing” their plastic prop guard, they needed a more viable solution. He really liked our products on display and after a positive discussion it was no surprise when he showed up at our workshop with Topcat (the club’s safety boat). Once we removed the remaining brackets of the plastic prop guard with some modification to the stainless-steel Prop Deflector, we were able to utilise the existing holes on the cavitation plate to fit a much better product that will protect the gearcase and propeller for many years to come.
Thanks to the “Show Discount” Adrian was able to purchase a midrange product for the price of a budget prop deflector and to show our gratitude and support to a local club, we did the mods and fitting for free. If your prop guard has failed and you are concerned about damaging the cavitation plate or skeg by drilling additional holes to fit an alternative product, please contact us at [email protected] and our helpful team will provide you with free advice.
