Spot on!

I second Explorer Arb on the smart winch, we have a GRCS have had it many years, and it is a fantastic bit of kit. If we were in the market for one now I'd get a smart winch.

Price difference?

SW: £2200 with a half days training, half day training includes mike bringing £1000's & £1000's of extra rigging gear to demo various tips & tricks like super static rigging lines, , several types of speed line, multiple re-directs to correct vectors. We learnt just how important that is when you start using all that winching power!

 

GRCS: £1895 no training, to hire mike for the day as the CP would have cost £350! to have him as a contract climber/ rigger would have been £200 + travel costs which as we were local are nil

 

all prices are ex vat I'll probably be in trouble for writing it but mike actually did us a full day install at no extra cost as we were so local

£2200 + VAT = £2640.00 if you're not VAT registered............

 

a £100 Buckingham Port A Wrap is all I'll ever need.

And good video with some useful advice, relevant to most harken winch based rigging devices.
