Jerry, Have you considered a Winchrite powered handle? I have used one to raise and then furl the main on a Beneteau 47 which had a Leisure Furl Coastal Plus furling boom. It worked fine and I was told it had enough capacity to do this again without recharging.

Any ideas on whether it can be done beneath winch? I would like to motorize my halyard winch. New electric winches are astronomically priced.
