Hi Bruce I know that the older Spinlock XA clutches used to be also branded by another manufacturer. I cannot recall exactly but I think it may have been Lewmar. The neighbouring Sabre has identical clutches to Persistence but while on one boat they are spinlock on the other I believe they are Lewmar. Spinl;ock XS cluth handles, sides and other parts are readily available.

Interestingly, 2 or 3 of the clutch handles are aluminum, and seem pretty robust. The others are fiberglass, and those are the ones that after many years, if they are open and someone inadvertently steps on them, they break and cannot seem to be repaired. And, of course, I've checked with Lewmar and they no longer make replacement handles. I hate the idea of replacing 12 or 13 clutches, and yet I really like the way that the Lewmar clutches grab line. If I can find a machine shop that will make the handles for a reasonable price, would anyone here need any?
