Measurements for Barient 10 and 18

Does anyone know have the measurements for the base diameter and height for the cabin top winches on a 32-3. They are Barient 10's and an 18. I'm looking at replaceing these and would like to get something close. Looked in the docs section and didn't find anything. Still searching on the web. I won't be able to get up to the boat for a couple of weeks so I thought I would see if anyone could help.

I replaced my main halyard winch with a Lewmar 16. Base diameter is about the same, but of course, it is taller since it is self-tailing.

Any issues

Geoff - I have some pictures that you posted of your replacement - looks good! Any issues with the increased height? I couldn't think of any. Did you get the alloy or chrome 16ST's? They look like chrome in the picture.

There is a little less "headroom" inside the doger. However, it's not really an issue since the E32's main is small enough to be able to hoist it by hand 90% of the way. The winch handle can be used in a radius of only about 120 degrees. The self-tailing on that winch is a huge impovement as it allows the final hoist to be a one-handed operation. (I see no need to replace the headsail haylyard winch since that sail gets hoisted once a season). My winch is aluminum. it's a nice winch, but in my opinion, not quite as rugged at the Barient it replaced (which was a two speed, unlike the Lewmar, not that two speeds are necessary there). The only other winches I have replaced are the genoa sheet winches, where I used Harken 46STA's.

Main Sheet winch

Geoff - what do you do with the main sheet. I was planning to the winch i use for it as well. Do you use a winch for the mainsheet or just for the halyard?

The boat came with a Barient self-tailing winch for the main.

Don't forget when you mount the new winches to position the drive gear so it hit the drum at the point the load hits this will prolong bearing life.

Measurements

Frank,

I have 10, 18, 21 and 27 with full documentation and specs. I sent this to Sean a while back for publication to the site. If you need the sheets for the 10 and 18 I can scan in tomorrow and send you via pdf.

Docs

Chris - if you've got them for the 10 and 18 and they are not published somewhere here (and I overlooked them) it would be great if you could send them to me. Thanks!!

Have Docs to Upload?

Chris -

If you have them in pdf form, please upload them (via Windows Internet Explorer) to the ftp site:

ftp://ftp.ericsonyachts.org/incoming

Attached to this email is a text file that describes how to upload docs - but basically, you go to the address above (in MS Internet Explorer), and drag-n-drop them.

On the hard copies - if they were forwarded to me prior to August 2004, it's possible they were lost or misplaced during the move. I broke down my household and merged it (when I got married) prior to my returning to school. I apologize for this, however there was quite a bit of chaos as you might imagine (two households merging - tons of stuff being given away, etc).

I've had other docs sent to me recently (last week, I believe), which I've uploaded, so I'm happy to do it - and it speeds things up greatly when they're already in pdf format and I don't have to scan it...

Thanks,

Docs for 10 and 18

Here they are. I am waiting for Sean to get back to me, and I'll send him one for the 27 as well.

Thanks!!!

These are great Chris - thanks for posting them! Just what I needed.

Docs Uploaded...

Done - I uploaded both the Barient manuals to the documents section - thanks again for the submission, Chris...

If there are any other docs that I owe you guys, please pipe up and let know, ok? I'm quite brain-dead these days. I have a project due in seven hours (8 am) and a mid-term exam after that - no sleep tonight - so unless I hear, I'll assume we're square....

Thanks,
//sse
