A sheet winch (left) raised and tightened the sails, whereas the centerboard winch (right) lifted the centerboard keel for shallow water operation. It is shown tipped over. |  |

| These photos show why the Barney is such a delight to dive. Deadeyes abound along both rails (above). | The lower photos show the classical pin rail with the pins still in their holes. These were used to quickly release the rope tension on the sails. |

| The top foremast lies broken off across the deck with its terminal tackle still attached (upper left). Mast hoops (upper right) allowed the sails to slide up and down the mast. | The foremast reaches for the surface from the deck, with a fully intact crows nest still attached. Very few wrecks have anything left of the crows nest. |

 |
| One of the many fairleads along the gunwale. These kept the ropes in place and snag free. | Some fishermen lost a small spoon, never realizing perhaps what lay below to snag his lure. |
