Is anyone surprised that binary billspit thinks winch handles are made

The boat builder didn't manufacture much besides the hull and some parts of
the
interior. The rest of the boat is basically what the builder selected from
other
suppliers to meet a price point, which is why your Seidlemann is loaded down
with the cheapest gear that could be found. I'm surprised the standing rigging
isn't galvanized.


Hah. In fact galvanised rigging is a fraction of the cost and has
better structural properties than the commonly used 1x19 s/steel
rigging. Still, don't let facts get in your way.
