I am going to bring my halyards aft so I'm looking for a small winch for the cabin top.

Thanks for any help.

I'm thinking about getting two of these for the cabin top and move my 16st's to the combing.

I bought a couple of the marelon winches to use for the spinnaker. They fit the bill as a low price option and appear to be durable but they are a big step down from a Lewmar, Anderson or Harken Winch. The smoothness of operation and ability to make fine adjustments was poor. They may work fine as cabin top winches but leave a lot to be desired as spinnaker winches. The Andersen #6 for $82. seems like a much better deal to me.

That little Marelon winch seems small - but I have no experience with it. It says it is ok for 200 sq feet of sail. I don't know really how much force one needs to tighten up the halyards. I'm thinking that a 2-speed winch is probably better... for tightening up when under load. What do you guys think?

This Maurice guy is obviously bogus and offensive. We have a very good record on this forum of avoiding posters like this. He will be removed and I hope he will not bother to hit us again. His only purpose is to post his signature links to online gambling which is completely inappropriate. He did not even leave an email address so we could ask him to stop, only more links to online gambling. Please avoid his links until we can purge him. (Scum are so annoying!)
