New Sheet Winches
23 June 2012 | Olympia, WA
OK, so maybe not ‘new’, but they are to me. And the PRICE WAS RIGHT!!!
I got them from a guy who bought NEW Self-tailing winches for his boat and wanted to borrow my welding equipment. Nice trade I think. The old smaller ones were original and were Barient 21s. The ‘New’ ones are Barient 28s. I used to have to strain real good when the sails were full to get any trimming done, but now with these it will be a piece of cake. I can get a kit that makes them self-tailing for about $600 each. But seeing as I am not a racer and just a cruiser, I may, or may not get them. They do make things nicer though, so we will see.
Many more projects are coming together on the boat, and I will be happy when the house sells and I can get the funding for a few big projects. Besides a few little items, I will get the new house bank batteries and then be off. I will have the rest of the stuff on board and will get it installed and whatnot as I go south.
