Hi Kjetil - I am increasing the number of my coachroof/cockpit winches from 3 to 6 in stages. New winches will be Andersen, which have a different handle rotation direction than my existing Lewmars. My existing primary Lewmar Wavegrip 48ST winches are in fine working order, and yes with some sun related "patina". I would consider removing them and selling to you, to partly offset the cost of new Andersen 46ST primary winches. Please email for more details.

Thanks for your note, Kjetil. You are living well indeed This was also my movie night, but I watched Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia on Netflix. He is an amazing standup comedian -- so funny and expressive -- but shockingly full of stories about racism that he's faced since a small boy. Very conflicting emotions for me to laugh about racism and hatred.

Although I don't agree with why that boy felt compelled to go to that island, I feel badly for the people who loved him. I would be horrified to know if they were to read what some of us have written here. As you said in your post, one might hope we are all better than that...
