No AC away from the dock, but $40 is a good price to avoid hand cranking
someone up the mast. It gets a lot of use on my dock.

TSailor,

If you also use the drill with the sails, what's your boat's
displacement and how big's your main sail, please ?

If you don't use it with the sails, why not ? Is it inadequate to the task
?

Appreciatively,
Courtney

bit that fits into the winch socket. Simple for any machine shop to
make.

If portable ones are insufficient, how 'bout such as DeWalt and
Milwaukee 1/2" corded models ?
