Want To Buy: Windlass for a 48ft sailboat (Europe)

[DLYDBD]

I am searching for a windlass, manual and/or electric, for a Jeanneau Trinidad 48.

I've fallen a bit in love with the Simpson & Lawrence manual Seatiger windlass, but I am open to other suggestions, also enginepowered (around 1500w). I need a windlass with a 12-14 mm gypsy.

The boat is located in Greece, therefore a windlass located somewhere in Europe would be great. We are 8 young people on a budget, which makes big freight expences a problem.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

A manual windlass on a 48' boat would be hard work.

Cheap and good windlass are somewhat incompatible.

We have a maxwell vertical unit on our Liberty 458. Cant imagine ever manually hauling aboard 300' of 5/16' chain.

Cheapest option would be rope and rode. Manual could work here.
