Upgrading Your Winches

Easily taken for granted, your boat’s winches are critical to nearly all sailing functions. If you’re refitting, consider an upgrade.

Disco Winches

They’re big, they’re black, they’re stout, and they’re from 1978. Meet Del Viento‘s Lewmar 48 self-tailing winches.

Service Your Winches

When you make cleaning and greasing these onboard workhorses an annual event, you’ll be rewarded with years of use. “Monthly Maintenance” from our February 2012 issue.

Overhaul Your Winches

A neglected winch is at best inefficient and at worst dangerous. Old grease gathers salt and dirt and creates friction or can even cause the winch to seize. To prevent this, clean and lubricate them every season or two.
