IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT WINTECH HEEL RESTRAINTS which originates in the UK but may be applicable in other countries - There has recently been a problem found with WinTech heel restraints after a sculler in Evesham capsized and found that one of her heel restraints broke when she tried to extract her feet. The point of failure was where the cord is attached to a plastic clip. Fortunately she did manage to wriggle her feet out of her shoes.
OarSport - the distributors of WinTech boats in the UK - have suggested the following work round, whilst they come up with a plan of action with WinTech: By-pass the plastic clip and secure a separate lace directly to the metal eye on the heel.
The advice from the British Rowing Safety Advisor to umpires at control commission is as follows:� "Control commission checks should look very carefully at these boats and if there is any doubt about the heel restraint mechanism, they should require additional laces to be added."
