I thought so too until I really started looking into the choices. Now I
am not so sure. Lewmar seems to have gone through some changes in the
past couple of years that have not had a good effect on their quality of
product or support.

In my recent experience Lewmar preferrs to go after the big production
deals and will spend little effort on individuals. I walked into their
booth at Annapolis and presented my bill of materials (about $25K in
winches and hardware). They gave me a 2 minute tour and couldn't wait
to return to gabbing with each other. Took the same list into the
Harken booth and spent 2 hours with Peter Harken and Neil Harvy going
over the whole sail plan and deck layout in detail. Same with maritime
Trading. They spent an hour with me selecting Spinlock clutches.
