[Alberg30] winches

[J Bergquist]

Dear List,

the time has finally arrived to float test my old bronze doorstop winches.

I have the good fortune to be able to choose what to replace them with.

Unfortunately, I can see no way that I can replace them with geared 
self-tailers while maintaining fiscal solvency. The gearing being more 
important than the self-tailing, I therefore am choosing between a pair 
of chrome-bronze barient #21s and a pair of aluminum alloy Lewmar #40's 
- neither of which are self-tailing.

Can any of you recommend which of these is more desirable? I am just 
wondering which are most appropriately sized.

thanks for all your sage advice.
