Yup, I am adding the Winchmate conversion kits with spring jaws to my Barient 32s. At $650 a kit it isn’t cheap, but it is a lot less than a pair of Harken 56s or Lewmar 58s.
Practical Sailor wrote a very favorable article on the conversion kits, and their tester was Ralph Narano who had them installed on his personal boat. So I’m pretty confident they will work out for me.
There is one boat locally that has them installed on a pair of Barient 28s. The owners like them, but they are relatively new sailors so they may not have a real standard for comparison to purpose built self-tailing winches.
How is the 3rd speed activated on your 32-3s? The jaws and line stripper in the kit cover the entire top of the winch drum. Will this interfere with the 3rd speed?

Rick,
I have been looking at Winchmates for my Barient 32 - 3 speed primaries. Is that your intention?
