So, the time has finally come.

Faith has shed her winches......

I am getting ready to mount the Lewmar Ocean 16 self tailers that I bought last year.

I need some winch handles. I like the new Lewmar 'One Touch' handles that have a bar under the bottom that allow easy release from the winch.



I think the reason I like them so much is that thier 'new' idea is the same one that South Coast had over 40 years ago.


I have a problem. I want to see these go to another Ariel. Just the handles can sell on Ebay for almost as much as I paid for the replacement winches.

So, if anyone is interestred in a swap... a pair of the Lewmar handles above, for a pair of the South Coast winch handles pictured... please let me know. (or $150.00 plus shipping)

Oh yea, and with the handles I can toss in a pair of South Coast winches, Winch mount blocks (need some work) and the original handle mount brackets in the picture below.




Please PM me if interested.
