I am very well known in both
commercial and charter fishing circles and after
retiring from both, I have embarked on another venture
which looks set to be equally successful. My
Woolfwinches, which I designed while living in Tumby
Bay, are my new direction.
Disappointed with the way some
of the anchor winches on the market are put together, I
decided to build a winch that is simple, robust and
idiot proof. After fitting the prototype to my own boat,
it was seen by a couple of Tumby Bay locals, who asked
me to build winches for them. Soon my 'hobby' blossomed
into a full time business and I am now manufacturing in
Warnertown, on Highway One, near Port Pirie, in South Australia.
I will custom build a winch to
suit individual requests, but the most popular product,
designed for boats up to 7m, takes 65m of 10mm rope and
4m of close-linked chain. There are three other standard
sizes as well, so most buyers are well catered for.
All winch drums are made from
marine grade aluminium and stainless steel, the
electronics are sealed from the elements below deck and
there are two motor sizes available (1400w and 1700w).
The Model 2000 winch weighs in at 23 kg, which isn't a
lot of extra weight to have up on the foredeck.
The retrieval rate of one metre
per second is quick enough for all but the most
impatient angler and I assure you that rope twist in not
an issue with my winches.
We stock:
-
heavy duty stainless steel
Bow Rollers,
-
Nylon Rope,
-
Battery Cables to suit
winches,
-
Anchors and Anchor Chain,
-
stainless steel Bolts and
Nuts.
