[Public-List] Recommended Spinnaker winches

[Wes Gardner]

I did something a little different....first I removed the cockpit coaming, then I bought some Lewmar 40sts for the primaries and moved the Barient 16s up on top of the cabin. I fly an asym on a sprit...

Boat show prices allowed me to get a pair of Andersen  40STs and they have been great, especially with women on the winch handle. There is very little wear on the sheets with the ridged barrels compared to other systems. The 40:1 allows for almost anyone to trim the sail of any size with ease. So when you price winches, also consider sheet replacement in the long term costs. I am on my second set of sheets in 20 years with about 600 miles sailed a year and we do race that boat in one design races. There is no appreciable wear on the current set of sheets so I think I can get at least 5 more years on them. I have been told that with other really rough barrels, 2 years is the max for sheets.
