Windlass for Freedom 32

Post by RonBarr »

We are trying to come up with a manual windlass system that will work on the foredeck of our Freedom 32. We've been looking at the Lofrans horizontal windlass which has a wildcat and a separate rope drum. We principally use rope rode so there is the issue of needing more than one person to operate ie: someone tailing the line and the other working the handle. Seems cumbersome. Has anyone overcome this issue? Thanks...Ron
