Hi Dean,

I went with Anderson 50ST winches for the replacement primaries on my C&C
34.  I like the size which is physically similar in diameter to the
original Barients and they make winching in the genoa a lot easier than the
old tired non-self-tailing Barients.  I don't remember how the sizing
compares to the Lewmars but you can compare the specs. I would probably go
with the higher end Lewmars if I was to do it again, but the Anderson's are
fine. Note, the bolt pattern was not the same as the Barrient and I filled
and glassed in the old holes and redrilled to install the new winch / it
was part of a bigger refit fixing lots of holes and repainting the entire
deck so that wasn't a big issue for me.

Not sure regarding Canadian sources.  I ordered mine from Defender and they
shipped directly from the factory in 2020 - I believe Defender does ship to
Canada if you want.
