[Public-list] Mast Head Replacement

[Gordon Laco]

Hi there - 

Those are good winches, but the only complaint anyone has about them is the
possibility of the brake being let off by a person who through inexperience
leaves the winch handle in the socket.  Serious injuries have resulted from
being struck in the head or limbs by the spinning handle.
