Old winch handles question

Post by Triton 53 »

Hi,

Anybody know where I could get winch handles like the ones I have?
It would by just my luck to drop one of these overboard. I have not seen handles like these in any catalog or web site.

They are around.

As much as I don't really like them, try Bacon's in Annapolis. I'm pretty sure I've seen some when I was last there.

Hi Pete,

I have an old bottom action winch handle that I am no longer using after I traded in my old winches for a pair of new Anderson ST winches. If you are still interest it is your for the cost of shipping.

Thanks, hopefully the Alli-Ann will be in the water in about 2 weeks,
we are going to do painting today and re-do the electical this weekend.

After that I need to install the port-potty & pump-out and check the stuffing box, engine etc then it will be splash time. The rest can wait until next year.

I want to sail !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pete,

Sorry, it has taken me a month to get to sending the winch handle to you but I finally did it. When you receive it I would apprecite it if you can send me a check for the amount of the postage on the package to the "from" address on the package under my name. Thank you.

Ray
Thank you very much.
I got the boat in the water the end of June and we were able to get the mast up 2 weeks ago. We went though the engine last Sunday with new belts, hoses, filters etc. I hope to have electrical done by theis weekend.
The sails went on yesterday.
