You Guys have some strong comments about the Lewmar D2. I was skeptical because of one comment i had from a rigger that i respect a lot, even if he does not have a C&C, but a first 42 is a pretty nice boat too. He was a Lewmar winch fan but a Spinlock clutches lover saying there is no point to be easier on the rope if it does not hold it! My own expérience is good with both brands.
but it seems unanimous and i think i will go with the lewmar D2. should be a nice upgrade over the easylock. Thanks for the comments. Bruno Becassine, 33mkII New richmond, Qc.
