Adding genny winches

[gabid]

I have never used winches for sail trim. For genoa sheets, I use Bill's ez cleats. An absolutely perfect solution.

I guess EZ cleats are excellent in light wind. In 15+ knots I can't trim the foresail without a winch in a close reach, doesn't matter how much it's furled in.
Anyway, too bad the boats4sail.info went down, the domain expired.

Thanks for the heads-up (maybe that's not the right term to use here) about my website. It will be back up later today. It went down because payment notice(s) went to an old email address, an expired credit card, or Zombies, or all of the above.

I can trim my headsail, even in heavy winds, simply by turning into the wind, briefly, to take the tension off.
