[C38] C38 windlass

[Richard E. Kilroy]

I have a Lofrans progress one windless . I don’t believe Lofrans makes this windless anymore. I have had them on both vixen my boat up here in Marion and Dashaway, the boat I kept in the Caribbean for 14 years. Very happy with the Lofrans windless

Used number 4 wire which was heavier than chart required.   I tend to go one size heavier as a rule with DC.
