All,
Did earlier CD 28's have 1 speed sheet winches. I know (at least some) lated CD 28's had 2 speeds. If the earlier boats did have single speed winches, when did they switch?
Thanks,
RW

winches
Hi RW,
My 74 CD28 Hull #11 had 2 Speed winches. Curiously, When I purchased my '82 CD28 2 years ago (Hull #335) from the original owner it had no winches at all, other than the cabintop winch for the club-footed jib. It was purchased new in '82 with no winches or stands!
I have since installed Spartan winch stands and winches off Ebay. If anyone has any Self-Tailing winches they are looking to sell, let me know.

The CD 28 base boat (early 1980's vintage) did not have genoa winches. The boat shipped with a mainsail and a club jib that was tended by the cabintop winch on the starboard side. There was a "genoa winch package" option that usually consisted of a pair of bronze Spartan winch bases, something like Lewmar 10 single speed bronze winches, and the bronze coaming cleats.yamiracer wrote: ...

A perfect example of what happens when accountants start getting involved in boat building.kerrydeare wrote:The CD 28 base boat (early 1980's vintage) did not have genoa winches.

It's also possible that the lack of accountants is what put so many builders out of business.
