Expert from BARTON

It all began in 1948 with the innovative idea to manufacture cost-effective yacht blocks from the lightweight material Tufnol. The yacht blocks were to be lighter and yet stronger than conventional products. It took almost 20 years for the Barton brand to be known on the international market and Barton blocks to be found on smaller yachts and racing yachts. Barton has expanded its distribution over the years to France, Germany and the Netherlands. In 1988, Barton attended the boat show METS for the first time, which opened the doors to worldwide trade. Nowadays not only blocks but also traveler systems, clamps, boom vangs and other deck hardware are manufactured under the brand name Barton.

A question about:
WINCHER Winch Attachment

Flag of English I have two winches of a width of 70mm in the middle of the drum. Will SMALL Size be ok? Also, although it says to use lines over 8mm, will it have a chance of working adequately if I use 6mm lines?

The small size will fit your 70mm drum however minimum line diameter is 8mm. 6mm will not grip on the wincher.

The fuel whistle must be mounted vertically and above the maximum level of fuel in the tank. It is fitted in line with the overflow pipe and whistles when filling, as soon as the whistle stops, stop filling.

WINCHER Winch Attachment

Flag of English HI All , Will this be good for Barlow 26 Winches ?

The Medium WIncher will fit the drum but the top lip is too wide, 125mm I believe. Going up to large will not work as the wincher will slip on the drum. Sorry, we are unable to help you in this instance
