I found the 25 was insufficient as primary winch so replaced with Barient 28 which I picked up second hand. Moved the 25's to secondary placement and the 22's one to main sheet. Yes involved new holes but a tremendous improvement especially for the 155 genoa and spinnaker. None are self tailing. I both race and cruise

Anyone with a similar boat find a good replacement with same or similar mounting holes that would save me some work? Really interested in what others have done and recommend.
