    If anyone might be looking for a windless I found this anodized Lofrans Tigress for $2,099.00.  This is @ $600.00 less than I've been able to find them.  Lofrans is the top of the line and hold up in the cruising environment. 

    While doing our mini refit for our next cruise I decided to pull our Lofrans Tigress off to paint (it's White) and freshen up the seals.  This has been a bullet proof windless and has worked perfectly with never a problem for over ten years.  We anchor a lot and even use it to go up the mast. Well, I got a "wild hair" and went looking for an anodized tigress and found this at:  http://us.binnacle.com/product_info.php?products_id=5433

    I've always wished I'd gotten the anodized version. This new one is 1500 Watt which is a slight upgrade over our other which was 1000 watt. I don't think the upgrade will be noticeable as the 1000 watt windless handled the 45# CQR and 5/16 HT chain flawlessly. Our mounting and wiring remains the same.

    They are located in Nova Scotia and shipping to California was only $40.00 plus no tax.

    Here is a photo of the windless we posted about after it was installed. It was an

    easy installation as it was a direct replacement.
