You mean, stuff to go on the boat? A windlass. Now I get to install it.

Or do you mean boat-y looking stuff to lay around the house? We already
have so much of that, from years and years of gifts from non-sailing
friends, that I don't let any more into the house.

Both. Electric windlass, I presume? Didn't your tug have one?

Yes and no.

We got one of these

http://www.blyachting.com/En/detail.asp?sku=0800122

My first pick was an Ideal but it would have needed a custom drum fitted
and cost more than twice as much. If anybody is interested I'll post
some photos of the installation as it goes along.

1000W, 800# working load, power up & down. There is a wireless remote
option I'm thinking hard about.

This should be a welcome addition to our cruising, even without the
wireless remote. Anchoring has been a bit of a grunt-n-groaner.

Doug, I just shipped the metallic blue lighthouse that plays Fur Elise
(sharp and flat) to you...will look wonderful on the trawler...

Thank you Katysails, in the spirit of fair exchange, would you like a
dozen anchor shaped door knockers?

DSK

I'll take one.

OK, it comes as a set with a little plastic Santa holding an old-timey
ships wheel, with a light bulb in it.

Still want it?

On second thought...

Heck, yeah...I can bend them up and make clothes hooks out of them!
(sure they weren't marked for haggie, though? Don't want her thinking I
bamboozled away something that she might want...)

Hell no, knock yourself out! I finally trained people to give us
consumables if they were set on buying us stuff.
