Here are some specifics for your word problem: The McCann winches used at the AMA/LSF Nats and LSF WSM are 2 inch cores on a 6 inch flange.
Winchline used is Memphis Net & Twine TWB-30, 290 pound test braided nylon line. Two spools of this line fill the winch drum almost to the 6 inch flange limit, giving approximately 680 feet (207 meters) to the turnaround. At the WSM, we reduced the distance to the turnarounds to approximately 150 meters. Have fun with the math ...
