Guest fung0410 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I used this drill worked with right angle powertool to raise my yacht mainsail to reduce my back painful.

tuffyluffy 76 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 A much cheaper option than a electric winch as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I wonder if you'd get enough torque? It's either that of a very loooooong extension cord! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1paulg 20 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I have one as a backup in case my electric jib furler dies - have tested it and certainly beats doing it manually though think it would struggle a bit with a mainsail our size though will try it just for interest !

Guest fung0410 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Right angle powertool at least 28V, so I used Milwaukee Drill 0721, had been tested with this interest drill for my past 2 yachting trip from Perth to SunShine Coast :) So far.............. the drill works and really help of reduce my back painful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vorpal Blade 89 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 It would be interesting to see if a regular 18v cordless drill has both the torque and endurance under load to deal with say hoisting a mainsail with a luff length of 15m and a 2:1 halyard. We've just changed VB to electric heavy lifting - I just bought one of these from Chains Rope and Anchors... Mrs VB can now pull the anchor and the main up with the remote. As it happens our anchor locker is right under the mast and the main halyard passes conveniently close to the anchor winch to make having the drum capacity worthwhile.

AJ Oliver 155 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Ah yeah, you need to be sure you have enough torque . . I got one of these to raise the 600lb. daggerboard on my 26 ft. keeler. It was about $ 400.00 usd https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Drilling/Right-Angle-Drills/0721-21 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
