If your craft's berthed in Titchfield or anywhere along the Hampshire coast, anchor gear is one of the most safety-critical setups on any boat — and one of the most overlooked.

For Titchfield-based yachts — particularly those at Titchfield Haven moorings — this is core work. That's the brief on every job we take on in and around Titchfield Haven moorings.
Vessels demand a different mindset to land-based wiring — corrosion, movement and water are constant adversaries, and the materials and techniques have to match.
Tidal range Titchfield can swing several metres — work near batteries and shore power needs to account for that movement.
We assume nothing on a first visit — meter readings before opinions, every time.

We work alongside other trades routinely — engineers, riggers, painters — so multi-trade refits run smoothly.
On the craft we look after throughout Titchfield, we bench-test windlass motors and run live load tests on the vessel, measuring current draw under load, checking for hot connections, and confirming the breaker and wiring are correctly sized for your windlass in Titchfield.

For Titchfield skippers, this is a regular consideration.
