Just a little more !

The dimension stated don't make sense: 8" 'reel' at the narrowest, 32cm (=12.6") 'across'... Scaling from the picture would put the handle at 3-4 feet long. I don't think so

It will be interesting to see what their mark up is, whenever I've been there to look for something it has seemed quite expensive and although I haven't tried to sell them anything (yet) the few guys that I've seen bring gear in to sell didn't seem to be having much luck.

Do you know if there is anything about the area like a car boot sale for marine gear where everyone can rock up and open their boot and sell and trade? I've got all sorts of bits and pieces from "no name" H28 that I'm not going to put back on her.

Hi Larks, as far as I know there are no marine carboot sales around here...wish there was.

[Larks]

Hmmmm - 'might have to start one.

Please let me know how you go at Bits For Boats, I might duck in on Monday week (when I'm home next) an see what they are asking for your winches to get an idea of their mark-up.

No worries. I even have a little bit of spending money for Whitworths and as luck would have, there is a Whitworths very close to where I deliver the bamboo to.

Hi,
I would love to find a pair of SouthCoast bottom action winches for my Rhodes 33. I have a pair of newly chromed south coast single action top handle winches that look fantastic but im going for authenticity here. If anyone knows of some sitting around please let me know.
