[alberg30] Mainsail Winch

Tom, You must not have an Atomic 4.  I sailed on aOearson wanderer with the 
same removeable shift.  It had a Palmer engine.  All you ned is a straight 
bar, and you can remove it under sail.

Tha comment about winch handles: with the old South Coast type cockpit 
winches that used the insert type of handle, the same type fits the halyard 
winch.  My cockpit winches are Barlow 2 speed, with a convential handle.  
Much easier to replace.  The old ones now cost upwards or @50  @60  if you 
can find one.  I'd guess that a lot of boats have the new type everywhere.
