Barlow Winches
Hi, I had Barlow winches on my Westerly, they were excellent and well worth keeping going if possible. They are no longer in production but it may be possible to get parts from Hutton winches, they are Australian. You could also try Trafalgar yachts, Fareham, in Hampshire, who are very helpful in te...

Post about length of mast
Thank you Philip, Your photo is very helpful since I can use it to have a better idea of the height the mast will need to be raised; our camper van is a Fiat Ducato. The spare wheel is a simple solution but I think I would have to raise the mast too high for us. We have a very large and long buoy, w...

length of mast
Thank you Tom and it is helpful to have another measurement, it seems the mast may be a bit longer than I was thinking but it could still be ok for me. We have an old family, Type 25 VW Transporter, which I have considered using but I would have concerns about the engine on steep hills. The vehicle ...

Post about length of mast
I have put a post under the Mast section and thought I would ask for help here too. I want to buy a Swift 18 and tow it with a van, which means the mast will not go beyond the drawbar/hitch. I need to know the length of the mast and also the distance between the bow and end of drawbar - I expect tra...

What is the length of the mast?
I want to buy a Swift 18 and want to tow it using a van, which means the mast will not go beyond the drawbar/hitch. Looking at photos it is clear the mast is much longer than the boat and I will need to attach the mast with a lot extending beyond the back of the boat. I have been told it is legal to...

Unbraked Trailer boat weight
I am looking to buy a Swift 18 and my vehicle can only tow up to 750kg, if the trailer does not have breaks. I see another post said their unit was a total of 1000kg on the weighbridge. I also note that earlier boats were lighter due to the keel weight. I have no problem towing with a braked trailer...
