Dick... I would save the looking around because I don't think you need a
halyard winch at all. I have a jib winch on the port side of the mast which
I never use. It's easy to raise both sails and cleat them without using
winches, if you're not fanatic about tension. Don't the racers leave a
little slack anyway?

There's lots of other chores to do on the boat before you get to looking
for extra winches.

Cheers,
