1346.0. "Winches Wanted" by ILO::TFOOTE () Thu Sep 14 1989 07:50

    I am in the market for a pair of Lewmar 40 twin speed winches
    prefferably self tailing anyone with second hand by any chance?
    Are there any equivalents in the USA? Could someone there advise
    me on the best mail order dealer? Even though I live in Ireland
    pick up in the Boston area can be arranged. Are Barients more easily
    obtained in the US?
    Any info will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Tom

1346.1Bacon's in AnnapolisGRANMA::JWAITEJohnson Waite DTN 425-3356Mon Sep 18 1989 14:588
    I do not know about the Boston area, but there is a store in Annapolis
    called Bacon's that sells 'stuff' on consignment. I have seen winches
    in the store although their primary business seems to be used sails.
    Their telephone number is 301-263-4880.

    West Marine Products, in the past two years or so, has gained
    a reputation as a top quality mail order marine supply business.
    
    In their catalogue, Lewmar 40A winches are sold for $399.00 plus
    shipping.  They state the list price as $555.00. The 40C model
    sells for $414.00.  Both seem to have the same dimensions, etc.
    Barient model 21 winches are listed in the same catalogue for
    between $342.00 and $357.00.
    
    West's address is:

    They have a toll free telephone number, useful within the U.S.
    It is 800-538-0775
    
    If this information is helpful to you I can make initial contact
    with them for you.
    
    My West catalogue happened to be most handy at the moment. There
    are numerous other good mailorder companies as well.
