Re: Stus-List Maxwell Liberty windlass - experience? opinions?

[Andrew Burton via CnC-List]

I don't recall anyone complaining that their windlass was too big! 
Unfortunately, I have no experience with the Maxwell. I just installed a Lewmar 
that I'm pleased with. It is all stainless, which was important to me. No 
manual recovery, though, which is a downside.

Stus-List Maxwell Liberty windlass - experience? opinions?

[Steve Thomas via CnC-List]

 Maxwell Liberty RC2500, 12 volt. 

 Westmarine had one of these for sale at a considerable discount, and I have 
been looking around for something for my 1980 C project boat. The boat has 
never has any sort of windlass installed, and I want to get some serious ground 
tackle for cruising purposes. Long story short, there was only one in stock so 
I placed an order to ship to store, but I could return it when it comes in if I 
change my mind. 

I really like the built in geared manual recovery, and the chain tube is round 
which would be easier to plug for passages.The stock gypsy is for 3/8 chain, 
but there is/was a 5/16 version that will fit. It is big and powerful for the 
size of boat, and maybe overkill to spend a boat buck for a new windlass. I 
also wonder why Maxwell decided to stop making that particular line, so any 
experience,  information, or thoughtful comment regarding these things would be 
much appreciated. I have never sailed, except for an afternoon day sail on Jim 
Watt's boat, on a boat that was equipped with a vertical windlass, let alone 
one with a capstan.

Anyone in Victoria know a boat called Mana Lupa? She's a Viking I think (25, 27 
maybe?). On the rocks at the foot of my street (Wincott Rd) in North Saanich. 
I'm thinking she broke loose from her mooring in Tsehum Harbour in the storm a 
few days ago. Looking for the owner.

Thanks!  These three will give me a good start.

Never heard of an energy plan for a race, but I've never done a West coast
distance race.
