Deck organiser

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The outboard end of starboard side deck organiser (turns halyard direction between  mast base and clutches)  has bent upwards a bit.
Seems not strong enough, or perhaps the direction of pull not correct?

Anyone had a similar problem, and how did you solve it?

	If it’s the original fitting, they went through a very tight right angle and maybe this is the cause of a fatigue failure over the years. My rigger replaced the original deck tidys with new units at a much better angle and this is probably the thing to do, sealing up the damage associated with the lifted fitting first. Pic shows both the old original tidys, which are not now used, and their relocated replacements on the port side of the boat. Same arrangement on starboard.

	Hi, have been myself wondering the same that looks like really poor design to make the 90 degree turns as in the originals. Do you know how your rigger installed those new tidys? Just taking indoor roof off and putting some washers below the bolts? Or any other reinforcement needed?

	That looks like the best approach. Great plan. Have you got 5 clutches by each halyard winch too?

	Yes we added extra clutches to the original ?spinlock blocks on each side. Everything comes back through it’s own clutch.

	Re strengthening- dunno, the work was done 12 years ago! Im sure there it will either be bolts and washers or perhaps a backing plate. Edited by Bitbaltic - 29 June 2025 at 20:51

	Hi, Interesting that the rigger moved the turning blocks further back. The original location has aluminium plates embedded in the deck to take the load. I replaced the original blocks with new ones mounted on some teak blocks to get a better lead and reduce the friction where the lines rubbed on the deck between the blocks and the winches. These have been trouble free now for 17 years. Somewhere there is a post with the positions of the in-deck reinforcement plates.

	Interesting solution. Did you install 5 clutches too?

	Hi yes I’ve got 5 clutches each side. Portside I’ve got two reef lines, outhaul, spinnaker halyard and pole uphaul. Starboard I’ve got main and jib halyards, topping lift, vang and pole downhaul.
