Hey, stupid, don't you know that winches ratchet?

Only an idiot turns a winch 360 degrees so he can
fall overboard doing it or lose the handle overboard.

Hey Cappy...

Here is an ad from our Dallas paper that may be of interest to you...

"Coronado 27 10Hp electric start, 2-spd wenches, 3 sails, $3200 (972)
292-1300"

Looks to come complete with female crew. Two birds, one stone...

The most beautiful thing about it is that the winch handle can't be turned because of the bimini.
Obviously this winch never gets used to trim a sheet, which is hardly surprising on a boat that never
sails.
