Among the lowest cost winches at that time, yes.

Bubbles, you're full of ****!

Ozzy, I hope you know that Barient winches were much more expensive and Lewmar
is STILL one of the cheapest winches you can buy. Ever see an Anderson winch?

"at the time" Bubbles...."at the time"

At the time Lewmar was a popular winch on low cost boats. Barient was the
pricey item.

Ummm Billy, galvanised was used extensively right into the 70s


And dropped because of it's high failure rate without warning.
Really, Ozzy....is this YOU?

Bill, I'm sure the memories of that trip will last just as long as if it
was made sailing a "Swan" :^)

works good and lasts.

So you were around then, buying winches?
I was, we bought Barlow and Lewmar because they
were at least as good
as the Barient at a better price.

Stick around, you might learn something

You've got that right! We really enjoy sailing with Scott, he's very mellow
and the boat is set up for easy handling. Everything works that needs to
for a FUN, relaxing sail!

You were just lucky that you didn't impale
yourself on that stuck winch handle, or that the
coil of line wasn't lifted by a seabreeze and tied
your hands and then push you into the water.
(these things happen in San Francisco).
