For Sale: Pair of Barlow 32 Chrome Winches

[AMower]

I have a pair of Barlow 32 Chrome winches for sail. Re-chromed 2010. Good working order. Not self tailing. Currently used as primary spinnaker winches on a Swan 44. I want to replace with self tailing winches. Sensible offers please

Perhaps you should make the first move on price, as people might think "I can't afford anything shiny that's been on a Swan 44".

I'm the owner of a boat with two Barlow 26s of very similar look, and while they are a great winch, they are rather antique. You have to know about ARCO and that Lewmar pawl springs will generally work.

The new cost of a pair of Lewmar winches of similar size is £4000.

I believe a guide-price of £500 for the pair is reasonable. They are both in good condition and were re-chromed last year.

Fair enough. Glad I know how to service mine, however!

Just so you know, hutton - arco does rebuilds on these to self tailing for around 1/2 price of new winches same size. Also supply spares.

They rebuilt mine a 18 months ago, and am happy with result.
