Thanks for all the feedback. You guys always have great thoughts! I thought of a third option but not sure if it helps. I could possibly swap the other starboard cabin top winch for a self-tailer and reroute the main halyard. I think I have more room there to mount it there, but will have to

For the last 20 years, every March, about four of us locals, use to make an annual pilgrimage to Defender and if needed would do a 5 min. run to Jamestown Dist. With cut backs at Defender and the closing of Jamestown's walk in store, those days are gone. Chuck, I have found Hamilton's prices f

I forgot to mention Mauripro. They're good for replacement parts for my Lewmar genoa car system and hard to find Harken parts. Not cheap but good customer service. For some rigging and other stuff, I use a local shop in New Orleans, Sea Chest Marine. http://www.seachestdistributors.com/ They m

Having been a supplier to many marine chandleries over the past 20+ years while working for Edson and now Novabraid, there’s definitely been some decline in quality retail access in the past 24 months. Surprisingly many of these issues came in the wake of a huge surge in retail boat and accesso

When I decided I had to have self-tailers for my foresail, I decided against changing brands, and just put in a search on eBay for variant self-tailers. Eventually a perfect pair of stainless steel winches self-tailers popped up, and I scarfed them up. I didn't even have to remove the bases, just t

Yes, and I think this was probably the big advantage that the old Defender had over West Marine. With the exception of some of the main yachting centers, if you would go into any West Marine store, which for me would be either Cleveland or Buffalo, You could spray a paintball machine gun around the

I also hoist the main by hand on my 36 footer with a 43 foot hoist. I setup the boat using autopilot so she's pointed into the wind, slow the throttle, take off the sailties, ease the mainsheet a little, and hoist the sail up by hand from the cockpit, pulling the halyard through a closed clutch

Ditto. I hoist Touche's main by hand from the cockpit then finish with a cabin top winch. The halyard runs through a Lewmar rope clutch which is closed during the hoist. -- Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Sat, Mar 11, 2023 at 4:41 PM Dave S via CnC-List wrote: > David - I sail win
