I am trying to loosen north footstraps on a 2010 WAM they are sealed but have a strap you can pull to tighten. (NEwFangled technology that allows you to adjust while sailing.....)

Stupid here cant work out how to get them to loosen. Is there some magic spot to ress to relaease the Ratchet (Pronounced RAT@#$%) by frustrated me.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Oldjenkins,

Yep, the little rubber bit indicates where the buckle should be positioned. Just press it and force the strap open. I have seen the buckle move from under the little black pad so if that doesn't work, have a bit of a prod around and you'll feel it.

They don't cinch down an awful lot but will stretch open a bit. If you need additional help and you are around Scarbs, drop in to the shop and we give you a hand.

Thanks for the serious help. Adjustment duly made and a lovely session had this arvo. Feet were really comfy and secure....

Gotta love gero when the wind is in... Same again tomorrow...
