[alberg30] Mainsail Winch

[Tom Sutherland]

From: Tom Sutherland <sutherlandt at prodigy.net>

On the subject of winches and winch handles, I have a question for the
group.

On #412 the gear shift is activated with the same winch handle as is
called for by the mast mounted main halyard winch ( the flat one which
fits through a slot).  I find this a bit clumsy to have the hand grip
portion sticking out in the cockpit while motoring.

Should I have a different handle which is especially designed for this
gear shift ? Perhaps I have a different arrangement from most. I do plan
on making something a bit more suitable but was just curious to know if
this was normal. My longer range plan is to replace with a "Moris" (sp)
unit but that is down the road a bit.
