Rudder repairs on Berthon-built WINSOME IV
WINSOME IV (S&S 2121), built at Berthon in 1972, came back for her normal winter layup. This time she came back for major rudder repairs, including having the rudder skeg and skeg shoe rebuilt. Winsome is made from aluminium, providing a different challenge for the shipwrights and engineers, demonstrating the diversity of the skills we have in-house. We also repainted her non-slip deck in our dedicated paint facility. Her topsides, painted the year before, were polished after completing numerous race-miles including the Middle Sea Race. Lastly, her hull was fared and antifouled, ready for another busy season on the racing circuit. www.berthon.co.uk
