Touche' had anodized alloy primaries (Barlow 28's), secondaries (Barlow 26's) and cabin top winches (Barient 22's). The bases for the secondaries are losing some of the anodizing. The alloy primaries had lost some teeth on the inside of the drum but had been repaired.
Last year I replaced Touche's alloy Barlow 28 primaries with a pair of chrome bronze Barlow 28's. Found them on Craigslist in Seattle by using claz.org. Thanks to Martin D. for helping get them to me. Well, the shiny chrome 28's made the other winches look kinda bad. Been looking for more chrome winches. 2 weekends ago I was probing eBay and scored a pair of chrome bronze Barlow 26's. A day later I scored a pair of stainless Barient 22's. So now Touche' will have all chrome or stainless winches. All for under $1100. Just have to be patient and keep searching. Should make the boat look much nicer. Sweet! :) Dennis C.
