[C38] winch bases

[RICHARD KILROY]

marci: yes you can purchace the largest size wincher available designed to fit 43 lewmars, ours are the next size up 48's. but you can force these on using two pieces of nylon webbing on the other primary and a secondary with 3 people  one on each winch and the third carefully watching his hands and guiding it on. the piece that is to fit over the top will have to stay under the top of the winch, but they still work fine. assuming 1/2 line you need 4 wraps on the strarboard and five on the port   good luck

  Dear C38 owners,

  We have the standard winch, which is not self-tailing. Is there an inexpensive, do-it-yourself kit to convert to self-tailing?

  Richard,

  I realize that this reply is probably too late to help, but I did remember to check the primary winch base width.  It is 9 1/4 inches counting (radii) radiuses at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical surfaces.  I either need larger winches or a smaller headsail as I approach 60.

    everyone: have a question, we are 1500 miles from our boat and have an opportunity to get barrient st 36 winches from a friend, they are quiet large and have a 10 1/8 base. how large is the mounting base where the standard 3 sp lewmar 48 sit. am quiet sure will have to add a ss rub piece on the starboard side as the lead will be further inboard and chaif on the glass comming.

     thanks

    dick
