Old Telcor Instruments
Robert Larson, who owns a 28 in San Francisco, acquired a heap of manuals for its ancient Telcor instruments with the boat. He is happy to scan these for anyone in need of these (now rare!) documents. robert@rlarson.com

Nilsson Windlasses
Many older Contests of 42ft and upward were fitted with Nilsson windlasses. These were an excellent product made in New Zealand by James Nilsson and company. Nilsson’s still manufacture a wide range of windlasses and support their older products. I have good reports of their spares by mail service. They can be contacted via www.jamesnilsson.com
