[world-cruising] [Fwd: "exploding" winches !]

    I recently heard of some Barient winches allegedly exploding.

    Does anyone have any knowledge of such catastrophic failure occurring
    "particularly/especially" in Barient or any other type winch.

    I realize that any winch can be put under sufficient load so as to fail,
    but is there some known predisposition of Barient winches to
    inexplicably or unreasonably.....fail ?

    Appreciatively,
    Courtney Thomas
