I agree with Chuck on the 'Self tacking"  I read about that somewhere and we've 
been doing it on the 2nd half of the racing season.  Our technique is slightly 
different but it's the same idea: 

1- You start tacking without releasing the genoa. It will 'Catch" on the 
opposite tack and spin the boat in a jiff.
2- As soon as the boat has turned about 25-30 degrees let the lazy sheet go and 
grab the new sheet / pull it in (by hand) as fast as you can.  (Slowing down 
the turn with the wheel is a good idea, if you keep the wheel set for a tack 
the boat will "Over-tack")  
3- If you do it right (It's all timing) you'll need about 2 turns on the winch 
to finish trimming. We actually counted the handle turns to demonstrate the 
benefits of "staying ahead of task" as a little life lesson to my daughter 
during a race a couple weekends ago .. 

Works particularly well in light to moderate winds (Less than 15) it still 
helps a bunch in higher winds. 

That being said that Winchrite thing looks real good :-)  I think $650.00 is a 
reasonable price (If it works well) compared to several 1000.00's for electric 
winches.  I'd love to try one.  My shoulders get do get sore when we race in 
high winds...

Have you priced electric winches? You may need dedicated batteries for those, 
too? 
Self tailers are less money. Not sure about winch rites? Smaller jib for 
shorthanded sailing may be wiser. Also, try to head upwind more during a tack 
to get the sail sheeted in without the winch handle. 
Remove any slack in lazy sheet before tacking and put two turns on the winch. 
Set the mainsheet and traveller close to center to help the turn. Put the 
autohelm on Standby and let the boat tack itself. Let the wheel ease into the 
turn slowly, hold the release till the wind is 1/3 up the genoa, release and 
start pulling the new sheet. Once the genoa clew is past the shrouds, try and 
slow the turn with a nudge of the wheel, so the sail is inside the lifelines 
and you can get 95% of the sheet in, without the handle, fall off to the right 
course, set autohelm, trim the last bit of sheet. Takes practice, but can be a 
lot of fun. Our boats turn so easily, you can handle them like a dinghy. 

If you go in irons and find you are going backward, remember to "Reverse the 
Rudder" to get pointed in the right direction. Don't let the rudder turn to the 
stop. One or two spokes off center is all that you need to turn the boat and 
get back on course.

Ok so you can get the recommended miwalkee cordless drill doe under $300 and

Re: Stus-List Winchrite

2015-10-06 Thread David Knecht via CnC-List
The difference in the winchrite is that it is designed for marine environments 
and weights about 4-5 pounds less than a cordless drill and battery.  The 
ability to swap batteries makes the drill appealing.  Also, the Winchrite 
people claim that the design of a low speed and lots of torque is more 
efficient use of batteries than a cordless drill designed to spin much faster, 
but you are trying to run it slow.  Hard to know in actual use if the 28V 
batteries on the drill will outperform the Winchrite at low rpm high torque 
applications.  I think the Milwaukee drill and charger and two batteries is 
going to be almost $600 so not a clear choice in my mind.  Dave

Dave,

before you spend money on Winchrite, consider using a cordless drill with an 
adapter. I bet that there are multiple sources; I found this one as the first 
on on Goggle: http://www.thecranker.com/. And here: http://www.winchbit.com/. 
The $40 might be worth a try. No association with either site.

There might be a problem of how long your batteries would last. But with the 
current Lithium batteries you might be OK for a few tacks.

Try using your body instead of your arms, when grinding. Stand with one foot on 
the cockpit seat, and one foot against the rail. Use both hands on the winch 
handle, and grind away. Depending on where your winch is located, you'll either 
face forward or aft while grinding, and let someone else call the trim.
