Horsey's new sails are installed
With much fanfare and relief, the stocks, clamps and sails were finally installed on Horsey Windpump. During three very cold days the millwright team worked very hard, sometimes into the night, to ensure the lift was completed by the end of the week.

Cap is winded for the first time
Horsey's cap is now able to be winded (turned) by hand and is facing the other way for the first time in over six months. This is a momentous occasion as it is important that the cap can wind correctly when the sails are fitted and turning.
