One winch was seized, really only grease gone dry, so both got a clean and a few pawl springs needed replacement. The lower with gears are actually quite exposed to the elements. Its not a long or difficult job, unless you lose something overboard!

The list has grown, as it does, new Fire extinguishers, replace the head pump, major engine service including water pump re-build, some electronics that work, checking anchor & fittings, sheets, revising main sheet system, new main & near new headsail, and fixing the mast head light, for with the old Mastmate was invaluable... But as I can only add three photos, that'll be in the next update.
