Pictures?

The idea is great, but not THAT great. Shit for that price you could buy 2 GRCS, and buy the crew lunch all week long.

We use our bollards all the time, but we do alot of negative blocking. Use the winch for the canopy and main limbwood, then changeover to the bollard to block down the butt log. We try hard to only use the winch when we actually need to hoist something.

Look closely Sean.... The bollard is built around the outer circumference of the winch. You can choose to use either or, without any changeout. You want the winch, wrap here. You want the bollard, wrap here.

Good eye. I hadn't read that far into the page yet. That winch handle isn't near long enough to get the mounting mechanism strapped down tight. We put 2 guys on the mounting bar of our GRCS..... and still sometimes shift it loose a bit.

I dunno Justin. Given the right circumstances maybe. Things could get hairy pretty quickly if you got 2 load lines tangled up in there, Im guessing.

I too think the fairleads would get bent out of shape in no time. So Id assume Gregs patent is on the mounting plate? I mean its a yachting winch mounted on a steel plate. Id think if the plate wasnt exactly the same there would be no infringement. Being a prototype, it'll take several years...

I dont think 2 at once, just one at a time. Just no changeover.

The dealio? The bollard post is built around the harken winch. You dont have to remove one to use the other, like the GRCS.

Anyone seen this yet? Whats better than a GRCS? One that you don't have to change out the harken for the bollard when you switch from hoisting to negative blocking.
