Welcome!
It's a beautiful thing, isn't it? Consider the fact that
this functional hunk of bronze is probably older than you are and have a little respect for your elders, please. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... Welcome, my friends! Welcome to Jurassic Winch! http://captneal.homestead.com/files/winche.jpg Bwahahahaha! RB |

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. S.Simon "DSK" wrote in message ... "Bobsprit" wrote Welcome, my friends!

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. DSK |

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...:) "DSK" wrote in message ... "Bobsprit" wrote Welcome, my friends!

fall overboard doing it or lose the handle overboard. Fall overboard???? Oh yeah, this is the same guy who gets tripped up by bridgedecks!!! Oh the humanity! RB |
Welcome!

As opposed to the idiot who mounted the bimini so that the sheets cannot be led fair to the winch, nor the winch handle turned.... Anyone who actually sailed would have forseen this problem. As I said, it hardly matters on a boat that never sails anyway. DSK |
Welcome!
Perhaps your ignorance can be forgiven because
snapshots don't show angles too well but the bimini frame in no way interferes with the run of the lines. Yes, the frame does make it impossible to turn the winch handle through 360 degrees but, like I said, that does not matter. The handle turns freely through more than 180 degrees and that's plenty enough to ratchet a sheet up tightly. Hey, I'm sorry if I'm not as stupid as you are. I am smart enough to realize not being able to turn a winch handle through 360 degrees is much more preferable than sitting in the sun getting skin cancer. But, then again, I guess sitting in the air conditioned pilot house of your trawler provides you with plenty of shade so what would YOU know about a bimini. S.Simon "DSK" wrote in message ...
