I have a wood schooner, 40' on deck.
Like many others, I am looking for a bronze manual anchor windlass.
Since ABI went out of business, they are almost non-existant.
It's really frustrating trying to find a used windlass.
With much appreciation I genuinely do appreciate any assistance anyone can lend me in my search!
Any luck on finding the windlass? I have a Simpson Lawrence 555 knock off that I have cleaned up and reassembled for use on my 44 trimaran, but the weight is an issue. It is all complete with a bucket of spares. It just needs a handle and a pair of pawl springs. Interested- contact me.
I have a new manual bronze anchor windlass suitable for 3/8 chain. A new one is advertised byToplicht Chandlers in Germany for 3400eur. If your interested please make an offer. My location is UK.
