The chain gypsy conversion kit for the Maxwell VC500 windlass is part number P71379 and will run you around $500. Jeff Hare has a nice article on this conversion...

Subject: Re: [C320-list] Questions



I have a 94 320, hull number 88. I am wondering if anyone has replaced the plastic light covers in the forward berth. Mine are both cracked an constantly falling off. I have not seen anything exactly the same at West Marine or local chandleries. Maybe  Catalina would be the best contact for a replacement. I am also looking for some grey paint to match the nonskid which has a few chips and is wearing thin in places. I know there were some emails earlier this spring about chain gypsies and I was wondering if anyone new or remembered if the chain gypsy rope combination was added to the stock Maxwell windlass and was it a Maxwell part. . I would like to add more chain, possibly up to 100 feet, is that to much weight in the bow? Lastly, I purchased a loose foot quantum composite main sail off another C320 owner last year but it was a little big for my existing sail cover and  the dutchman flaking lines didn't line with the way my sail cover was set up. We used it a couple of times 
and it worked great and is in excellent shape but I must admit we don't race much and ended up going back to the stock main for ease of using the cover. I paid $1000 for the sail which I am sure would be $2000 + to replace. I would except a reasonable offer and arrange for shipping if anyone is interested.Darrell
