Shaping winch bases and then ensuring they can be used with the guard wires in position

First job was to angle the bases so that they were the correct angle to be inline with the genoa cars


Cut curves on the ends to ensure no hard corners to caught sheets and other lines. The bases are longer to ensure there is a large footprint to spread the load.


The temporary line run through the genoa car shows the angle is correct to load up the winch.


This photo shows the winch handle can be used through its full sweep 


This photo shows that a person with full foul weather gear can use the winch





Just got to get the bolts ordered and epoxy the bases and these can get fitted to the boat.
