Yeah, from classicmarine.co.uk. They were pricey, but not as pricey as you'd expect for new winches, like $480 per winch. Not bad when you consider a new Harken winch is like $700 to $800. The cool thing about 'em is with the cleat on the top they're quasi-self-tailing. And they have basically four moving parts: drum, "core", and 2 pawls/springs. Super rugged construction.

Honestly, with the 2:1 staysail purchase, it's questionable whether we even need winches up there. But we'll leave 'em as is because they're in a decent spot for the running backstays.

You have any new pics of your boat on flickr?
