Want To Buy: Lewmar 16ST Holdfast winches

[Davidhoy]

Hello, looking for a pair of Lewmar 16ST Holdfast winches, made in the late 70's and early 80's. As long as they are functional and complete, cosmetics is not that important. They don't have to be serviced or cleaned or anything, I can take care of that. Broken pawls and springs are also easily replaceable. If you only have one, I still am interested.

Reason for this particular winch is that the bolt pattern lines up perfectly to replace the non-self tailing winches on my mast. I found one at a nautical flea market, and it fit and worked perfectly. So if I can just find two more...

I'm in the Fort Lauderdale area. And yes, I did look at Sailorman yesterday to see if they had any :-)

Thanks,
David

Thanks! Unfortunately this is now moot as my boat was destroyed on Sunday by a 100ft motor yacht that lost control and hit my boat and another at the dock. Waiting for the official word from a surveyor, but it’s a total loss.

Good Luck
