Does anyone have any experience of using this kind of towball mounted winch for recovering a trailer sailer?
My problem is that it even on a familiar slip it often takes a couple of goes to get her properly on the trailer (mods are on the way!), and the wear and tear on the clutch is a problem. Being a fin keeler (needs 4ft to launch) doesn't help either, never mind the fact that I expect to use steeper slips when visiting other areas.
Has anyone used this type of winch? The boat and trailer weigh around 850-900kg: any idea on the kind of load that would put on the winch on a steeper slip?
Thanks!
