I have been waiting 22 years for this!
Ive been stubbernly using the good old, original two hand genoa winches sinse I bought "Tessie" in 2005. They have done a good job after 50 years of service, sinse the boat was new in 1976. After thousands of miles across the seas, its now time to change them out to a couple of selftailing winches.
And yes, I will have to admit; selftailing is alot better.. :)
