			<link>http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1171/t/Primary-winch-upgrade.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I'm in the process of upgrading my primary winches (Lewmar 50s) to new Lewmar 54s.  I was limited to the 54s because of the size of the moulded in combing pocket designed to accept the primary winches.  The problem with the old 50s is the old &quot;wavespring&quot; design - no spring loading to grab the lines.  On my 1994 two cabin model, (hull #431) access to the starboard winch base is easy.  There is a teak access plate in the overhead of the aft stateroom which is directly below the winch... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Dear C42 Owners,<br>
            Our C42, hull 463, is the 3-cabin version and the alu Isomat mast passes through the deck in the owner's cabin, right against the pillow of the pullman berth. So when asleep (or trying to) the skipper's ear is at only 4 inches close to the mast and with the slightest motion of the boat the mast becomes a terrible noisemaker.<br>
            I don't suspect the halyards running inside to be the cause of this noisance because we can tighten them on the winches... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Any advice on placing a winch on the mast for halyard work?  I am interested because I race quite a bit and a winch at the mast would really help with raising and lowering the chute.  Also I think it would help with tensioning any halyards.  Any and all advice on installation and winch sizing would be wonderful.  The spar is a Charleston.  <br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Just wanted to relate a positive experience with Lewmar. One of my 54's was showing some pretty bad discoloration so I called my dealer who referred me to Lewmar's West Coast rep. He asked for photos which I sent. He said he could not tell much but would send out a new drum and charge my credit card until they got the old one to determine if it was a warranty issue. I got the new drum and returned the old immediately. Got a call from the rep saying that it was not a warranty problem. I argued... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I had to disconnect the forestay to haul out the boat last weekend. It wasn't easy to get much slack. Any thoughts on how to get more slack when I re-attach it? I did ease the backstay to the end of the turn buckle and I eased the topping lift, boom vang, and main sheet. I also connected the jib and spinnaker sheets to the anchor roller and tensioned them. None of this provided much slack. Do I need to ease the lower and upper shrouds as well? ]]></description>
