If you need a good high performance sail winch for your 36/600, 1 Meter or Victoria, go visit HobbyTown USA at 1915 E. Baseline Rd. in Gilbert, AZ (480) 892-0405. HobbyTown is now carrying the Futaba FP-S5801 drum winch for $139.00 and the Futaba S3801 swing arm winch for $79.00. Both of these winches are good and will function well based on you needs. To be honest, it is a rare treat to have a local hobby store stock on their shelf a valuable item for model yachting. So if you need a winch or have any questions, call HobbyTown and ask for Doug.
