Gypsy Soul 8 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have a couple of Masport Barlow 40 self tailing winches. Good winches, however the nylon? clutch part of the tailers are worn and do not grip the sheets. It all goes a bit pear shaped in a big blow when everything loads up as the sheet slips through the self tailing grip things. I'm usually sailing single handed and it can all get a bit busy when this happens! Does anyone know if I can get replacement parts for these, and if so, where? Link to post Share on other sites
Romany 158 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Pretty sure if you check arco winches in Oz they could help.. Spare Parts - HUTTON-ARCO Yacht Winches http://www.arco-winches.com/products/spares Spare Parts. With the demise of the companies that manufactured BARIENT & BARLOW winches, almost every customer who ever purchased those winches ... Or maybe you could sell em. Cheaply. To me. Masthead overlapping sails need big winches or big gorillas, I have neither Link to post Share on other sites
Gypsy Soul 8 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks Romany. I checked out web site and it looks like spares are available. I will give that a go. If not, maybe winch replacement - then you might get a couple of cheapies! Link to post Share on other sites
