Always have a look for used winches on eBay. If they were used Lewmars, these
are mostly indestructible so used is fine. That is how I got my ST Lewmar 44s
at $500 each. Compared to ~ $2000 each new.

point! I wish it were possible to test run some winches before buying -- hah!
ST50 seems large, but better a little large than two small.Jeff

Subject: Stus-List Re: Winch Size for C&C34 Hi Jeff,
I replaced my primaries on my 34 with Anderson ST 50 winches in 2000. They seem
sized correctly to me - I certainly wouldn't go smaller. They work fine for
hauling in my 135 Genoa fully loaded up but it is about all a typical crew can
handle by themselves. If I was to do it again, I would pay the extra for Lewmar
Ocean winches of equivalent size or maybe even one size up instead.
