The fine vessels designed and built by the Dickie family at the beautiful Loch Fyne fishing port of Tarbert were infused with varying degrees of unmistakable Scottish fishing vessel DNA married to strict yacht quality discipline learned at Fairlie by yard founder Archibald M. Dickie; the motorsailer TUNNAG (Gaelic for duck) is both no exception and a very fine, and authentically preserved example. The ingredients are all there: a bold sheerline bookended by a proud bow and sweetly curved canoe stern; astonishingly stout construction specifications; bright finished teak topsides and superstructures topped by a wheelhouse in which the amateur yachtsman could feel like a master mariner for the weekend, in command of surely the smartest little ship in the anchorage, or retire to a Pullman carriage interior in a quality of carpentry that few yards could match. And not to forget a pair of masts raked at just the right angle for an air of jauntiness, capable of carrying a fair spread of canvas. There is nothing quite like TUNNAG in offering such vintage pre-war chutzpah and yet modern practicality. She has recently received a completely new teak deck laid by one of best of present-day craftsmen and requires post-refit commissioning, including servicing of her trusty and economic Gardner engine, to have her ready for the season.

Lightweight and fast-acting, the Carbo® OneTouch® ball bearing locking winch handle makes grinding winches easy! Racers will maneuver faster and cruisers will have confidence in a reliable and easy-to-use winch handle. The Carbo OneTouch locks in and out of the winch using its patented locking mechanism and ergonomically-designed grab bar. It only takes one hand to set or release the handle—squeeze anywhere along the grab bar with your palm to unlock; release the bar for a secure lock. Harken added SpeedGrip handle technology to the OneTouch for fast and efficient winching. Its independent swivel between the ball bearing knob and hand-grip allows fast trimming using the palm for low-loads, and powerful two-handed grinding when loads are high. At just 580 g (20.4 oz), the Harken Carbo OneTouch is built to be strong, but lightweight. The grab bar and main handle are made of the same tough material as our Carbo block line: high-strength, fiber-reinforced composite, UV-stabilized for excellent protection against long-term exposure to saltwater and sun. The handle and grab bar are cross-ribbed and braced for enhanced stiffness. An aluminum grip rod mates seamlessly to a forged aluminum handle insert to manage bending stresses. The black hardcoat-anodized octagonal drive gear is also integrated into the molding process, resulting in an extremely strong, one-piece structure. Its locking pins are tough 316 marine-grade stainless steel. OneTouch is a registered trademark of Donald J. Steiner.
