Do not go up the mast no more, that's for my son (52 yrs). All my
winches are the original Barients. Since /Fireball /is sitting in my
yard (too many COVI 19 restrictions in RI) I have pulled my primaries
(28s) and secondaries (26) to overhaul. I need to get the drums sand
blasted in middle since they slip too easily, it is either that or I am
getting weaker. Have had Fireball since 1980, my son was 23. Started
sailing in 1957 off NewCastle NH in a 8' pram (P-Dink), Graduated to
Thistle (wood kit built in garage) in 1959 which I campaigned until
1976. Besides Fireball still have the P-dink and a Laser, but it getting
harder to duck under their booms. I guess everything ages.

even self-tailing.

I bought my wonderful SS Barient STs from a very pleasant Banker from
Long Island, who said he had just had a great charter vacation on a
boat with Electric Winches. He said, Ya’know, I think I’m worth this
– so he bought some, ceded his old ones to me, and extended his boat
ownership another ten years.
Some nice electrics would wing you right up there! Are you worth it,
Matt?

58 here.
Last evening I installed my wind transducer at the masthead using an
ATN climber. I wondered whether this is really a job I want to keep
doing.

56 here. Between sailing and flying I sometimes think I will be
perpetually the youngest person doing it, neither seems to get much
new blood.
Glad to see a 35 year-old on the list!
Speaking of age, a broker told me C&C owners were terrible customers.
He said something like “Most people trade up every 3 to 5 years, you
all keep boats for generations”
