<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Joe,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>if it is only for 3 lines, one winch should do. You
would need a control line organizer at the bottom of your mast and 3 blocks,
then a line organizer (basically a box with 3 sheaves) at the forward end of the
higher portion of the cabin, a line clutch (a triple one) and something like a #
16 one speed regular winch or even better a self-tailer. To help you determine
what you need check out Spinlock's web site, they have a page called Deck
Layouts which can help you "design" your own system:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If ever later you needed to bring more lines aft,
you do the some thing on the other side. You could install another winch or you
could install one of those Harken crossover blocks which is a sheave really. You
install it behind the line clutches, you wrap the line you want to pull around
it and cross the line over to the winch on the other side.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been reading about leading lines aft for
short handed sailing. I am curious what hardware other owners have installed
or have already, for this purpose.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do you need one winch on the cabin top or two if
you are just going to lead the main halyard, jib halyard, and toping lift aft?
What type of cleats do you recommend for the lines: clam, cam,
etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Without the addition of roller furling, would
leading lines aft be worth while?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am also curious about whether you employ lazy
jacks.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks:</FONT></DIV>
