After watching a few other videos on winch maintenance, it is SO nice to watch a professional properly demonstrate something she has done many times before. Tips, details and your experience are so valuable. Thank You!
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll certainly have a look at doing that. Dismantling a furling system is a little more involved as some system require the forestay to be disconnected, but we'll see what we can do
From time in the service working on rifles...I would seriously suggest having spare springs on hand before doing this. Small springs have an AMAZING ability to disappear into some far corner of the universe, never to be seen again.
Good video.. the single speed self tailing winches on my boat were completely different. The drum was removed by unscrewing a top assembly that included the self tailing gate
Yes, it's difficult to cover all winches and different brands and even different age models from the same brand can work in very different ways. We'll see if we can cover some other brands in future.
I know this is just an example (and a two year old video) but if you're arriving from the future like I did: You *must* reapply that anti-corrosion every single time you pull those differing metals together again. I know it looks like it's okay because it looks like enough is on, but, as an ex-navy aviation technician, I promise you one time you pull that thing off it will not come off. Corrosion happens so damned fast! So always reapply everything: grease, oil, anti-corrosion, lock-tight (if used), etc! They may have redone this all off screen, but I wanted to throw that out there. /ted talk.
Thank you, good video overall. Suggestion for camera person to spend more time and frame on the item being worked on. Nice to see the speaker's face here and there, but she began explaining and doing something at the same time, and the camera was on her, and not the item.

From now, I won't be afraid of diassembling my winches anymore. Thank you.
Ridiculously detailed! I loved it.
In Canada, a "Peeler" and a "Stripper" are synonymous.... both tend to use poles. Great video and a very good job by Rachael of explaining it all.
I guess yachting monthly doesn’t have a sense of humor 😜
@@Abc-kf4qx Or in the UK they don't mean the same as they do in Canada. Duh. (actually, in the UK a peeler is a cop.)
WoW!! Amazing video, explaining details and giving lots of tips! 👍👍👍
terrific.... now when one has to open up one of these...it won't be a surprise.
Always good to have a refresher course, Great Job!
Great lesson. Thank you. Maybe one day I will do a Rubicon trip.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you so much for these Videos!
Finally settled upon a title for my upcoming medieval romance novel .
Great job and explanation
Very helpful
Good vídeo, could you do also one for the furling system of the head sail?

Or just do it inside a rolled-up towel. No matter the direction it pops, it will be caught in the fabric.

The manual shows no lube on those plastic bearings and also that top screw has a very light torque spec.
