Dwight, I upgraded my cabin top winches from Barlow 10's to Barient 22's. That's quite an increase in power ratio. We race so we're cranking a lot of tension on the genoa halyard. The first time we REALLY tensioned the genoa halyard, the cabin top deformed and creaked. The winch tilted forward slightly.
I made 1/4 inch thick plates of roving and epoxied them under the cabin top. The plates extend forward of the winches for a couple inches to spread the load. They must be epoxied because a simple backing plate would just separate from the underdecking forward of the winches. Now the deck is strengthened, solid and doesn't deform when one of my gorilla crew members decides to grind the heck out of the genoa halyard. Dennis C.
