My ARCO 40 winches are chromed bronze. I took them to a chrome plating shop and had them stripped and returned. ( Mayfair Plating http://mayfairplating.com ) A machine shop lightly knurled them, and I cleaned up the work a bit with a small hammer and carbide scribe. Mayfair plated them and did not polish the drum area. The result is a "knobby" finish that is not abrasive. Works well. Cost was under $300 a couple of years ago. The lowest part of the drum was not knurled but dimpled with a rounded punch, no sharp edges. It releases the sheet quickly when pressure has been relieved, and does not prevent the line from climbing up the drum. I most conditions three wraps will work with a 155% genoa. Above 16 kts four is required. With five wraps I can tail and grind at the same time solo.

We are constantly fighting slippage when anything gets slightly worn. The main sheet winches take 5 wraps minimum when going upwind or they will slip. High tech line is great, but it is slick stuff. Those multiple wraps seem to get a lot more grippy in ducking situations - and the Swan 42 has a very skinny rudder.

The oven has never been used, and the original alcohol stove was replaced with a much newer two burner propane stove within the last ten years. It may have been used once or perhaps never as well. It looks new. Color is brown. I'm not sure if there is any interest in these items, but before I scrap them I thought I would check with the Forum members. I am located in Penetanguishene, but can deliver to Toronto quite easily. Price is negotiable.
