[Alberg30] andersen winches

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

Absolutely the BEST winches I ever bought. I changed every winch on Free
Spirit #497 (to the point that the anderson guy gave me a free T shirt). 2
#40 2speed self tailing genoa winches (oversized for the A30, but no one
ever complains about winches that are too big), 2 #16 standards for the
halyards on the mast (should have made the mainsail winch a self tailer
maybe a #28 for excess utility power in hind sight), and a # 8 (maybe 10,
the smallest standard winch) on the boom for outhaul and reefing. Absolutely
loved them and recommend them.   An 80+ year old freind of mine that sails a
Sabre 28 more frequently than any other sailor I know (4-6 times a week),
also put #40 2Sp. self tailers on his boat and a #28 self tailer on his
cabin top for utility purposes (all halyards, reefing lines, down hauls led
to cockpit).  He thanks these winches (and me who recommended them) for
making it easier for him and his wife to keep on keeping on!

Brian   ex#497   & believe it or not, no association with Anderson or their
importer other than as a satisfied customer.
