[alberg30] Corrosion

John,

I don't mind the verdigris on bronze, but you can polish it with any
metal polish, if you want.  You can even have it rechromed, though I
don't think that lasts really well.

How can a winch be too big?  I think maybe the wind is just too light.

What winches are they?  Are they single or two-speed?
