Came across this interesting and clever design this morning. It would free up a bit of space in the cockpit I imagine. I couldn't find what boat it was from unfortunately. The link went to this Maine boatyard/brokerage: www.lymanmorse.com/brokerage/

It's worth a look as there are some seriously good looking boats listed.

Add one of these , they seem to be emerging as a must have on the Xmas list.
You need to think of them as an alternate solution to electric winches, or you will faint when you see the pricing :)


I got talking to a long term world cruiser tied up here a couple of months ago. He used a right angle battery drill! I think it was a Milwauke M28, a now discontinued item but there must be something similar out there with sufficient torque
