Your current winches are probably Barient 18s, at least that is what was original on my boat. I looked long and hard at the Anderson 28st winches and I agree that they are a good fit for the C&C27. A Barient 19st is pretty much an 18 that is self tailing, but almost impossible to find now. In the end I bought a couple of used Barient 21-30st winches but only because they were way cheaper than a new pair of Andersons. I have not found the larger diameter to be of any particular advantage, and there seems to be a greater tendency for over-rides, but self tailing was the feature I was after and I like them for that.

I'm not at the boat at the moment, I think they are 16s. Anyway, I am looking at the Anderson 28ST (two speed, self tailers). Is the 28 too big, too small, what do you have on your 27? Cheers, Paul.
