Thanks for the replies. I was thinking, more generally, of using CNC for any sort of hard-to-source part for the aging CC fleet - and sharing the data-sets (e.g. autocad files). The main expense at this time is the scanner. Manufacturing can go to the lowest bidder. Maybe some shops do scanning

Danny, The good ol' Atomic 4. Under sail, with a big enough prop, you don't even need a battery to start it. Just turn on the ignition and pop the clutch. Doesn't work at the dock, though. What's the emoticon for exaggeration? For the windlass, how about going manual? That would be a lot simpler.
