J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum One Design Class Rules J/30 Class Approved Replacement Winches

An updated list of approved winches is attached. The goal is to keep the power ratio's and weight as close as possible to the original Barient winches. Both Lewmar and Harken have changed some of their model numbers but haven't made significant changes in the winches. Alloy, chrome, and stainless are permitted. There was a company in Australia making parts for the Barients. Will try to find a link and post it. Larry Christy Measurerer
