Thank you to Latitude 38 and ‘Lectronic Latitude for publishing the latest installment of The Resourceful Sailor, The Resourceful Sailor’s DIY Winch Maintenance, on August 10, 2026. I would also like to thank the Port Townsend Sailing Association, the owners of Mustang Sally, her steward, Piper Dunlap, and Steve Scharf, the owner of Corvo. Mustang Sally and Corvo are both Thunderbird sailboats and race in the Port Townsend one-design fleet. They do have different winch set-ups. There are a couple of videos in the article and if we’re lucky, another link will pop up in the comments section. The title says it all. I hope they are helpful and inspiring. And thanks for reading.
