Of course, the button built into the boat to activate a built-in electric winch is much more convenient, because with the WinchRite, you have to exert considerable force to counteract the torque generated. But the device also offers so much power and endurance that the mainsail is raised quickly without any effort on your part – fantastic. It's easy to use, and the device can be stowed away quickly. I'm deducting a small 5 stars because we're all spoiled by our modern battery-powered devices. I miss a charge level indicator, which I consider state-of-the-art these days. Without the indicator, I have no idea how often I should recharge the device, and I can't try to only charge it to about 80% to conserve battery life. It's a shame.
