[Rhodes22-list] Unknown Genoa Winch

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Brian,

S/V Dynamic Equilibrium (1976 Model) had the same type winches when I purchased the boat in 1987.  In heavy air, my wife and two sons, ages 4 & 1 at the time, couldn’t sheet in the genoa with those winches.  So, I replaced them with a pair of Anderson 12ST’s.  If you look on the archive page, there is a picture of one of these winches just after I installed it.  Not only do they look great and use a standard winch handle; but, they fit the winch pad like they grew there.  We love the self trimming!  They are thru-bolted into the coming compartment using big fender washers as backing plates.  It was an easy installation and they’ve not given a bit of trouble in all the years since.  The extra trimming power enabled my 2 sons to grow up sailing from an early age.

Has anyone ever seen a winch like this.  I have two on the boat and will
probably replace them, but I was curious if anyone knew who built them or
what.  They don't look anything like anything I've ever used.
