I completed a winch upgrade to the boat about a year ago where I
replaced the Lewmars with Harkens. I started out with the Harken 16's
single speed on the genoa winches, and have recently moved those to
the cabin top for halyard use, and placed Harken 32s 2 speed on the
genoa. The Harken winches are excellent in ALL respects.
