-- Dave - winchless and wenchless C27 #5212 Windabout Cape Cod http://dpbcc.home.comcast.net -------------- Original message -------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jeff, No, I've never had to use a winch to tighten the main sheet, even close hauled in a stiff breeze and heeled 20-25 degrees. I've had to play with the angle of the cam cleat to make it easier to single hand, especially when racing. Ray Winkle 5275 Knot Home Gloucester Point, VA. See what's free at AOL.com.
