What does this have to do with a winch handle?
wrote Is anyone surprised that binary billspit thinks winch handles are made by the boat builder? EVERY builder does this. The difference is the price point they are working towards, and the overall level of quality they need in the final product to make it sell at that price. C&C was not trying to make the cheapest possible boat for the uninformed, unsophisticated, first-time buyer, as Siedlemann was. BB |

wrote What does this have to do with a winch handle? Nothing. I just like to put down the boat you sail. Makes me feel better. BB |

We typically coil the line around an unused winch but what if the line fell off the winch and into the water, then, when you start your engine?????? It's certainly a possibility, but it's more likely that it would come off the handle don't you think? -- Jonathan Ganz (j gan z @ $ail no w.c=o=m) http://www.sailnow.com "If there's no wind, row." |

Did you ever get out of the site of land?
No. Had to scrap that plan. Maybe next year. Oh boy. Scotty Potti not only has a glass house, but the stones as well. RB |

No. Jon, look at this pic.

Well, yeah also if an Albatross swooped down and picked up the end and threw it in the water.....about the same thing. |
