Hi Tim
I've got Barient 28 winches close to the wheel, and a pair of slightly
smaller winches ahead of that. The 28s are not self tailing, the others
are. I'd prefer they were reversed - but that is mainly a solo sailing
consideration, it would be nice to have self tailing next to the wheel.
The forward winches are what we use when racing, they seem to be fine -
whomever is grinding there does not seem to get in the way of the
mainsheet trimmer. When we race the aft winches are mainly used for
spin work (which makes sense to me, one does not need self tailing for
spinnaker work...).
When I'm sailing by myself I run the genoa to the aft winches, and lead
the mainsheet down to the port forward winch.

Tim,
My primaries are in the forward location. They are Barient 28+
models. My traveler is on the cabin top, which keeps the mainsheet
trimmer in the companionway...and out of the way of the burly trimmers
that I have.
I have Barient 27 secondaries, which we use for spinnaker work, unless
the sheet trimmer wants to use one of the cabintop winches...

The primary winches on my 35-3 are set up just in front of the wheel
(adjacent to the turning blocks for the sheets). There's not much
space for a couple of burly trimmers back there - so I was considering
swapping the primaries with where the spin sheet winches are now,
further forward. I have the traveler across the bridge deck, so that
may cause more congestion with the main trimmer. How do other people
who race the 35-3 (or similar boats) have theirs set up?
Thanks,
Tim
