Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

A late thanks to everyone for your input!


Downsizing the halyard to a decent 12mm line finally resolved the issue. Not only is it much easier to winch now but can be pulled much higher by hand...

Re: Bali Marinas

(just realized the post is 4 months old, guess you already been to Bali ... anyway, maybe it helps someone else)


You have a couple of options

Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

That Meissner 23ST is apparently equivalent to a 40 Lewmar or Harken. But still undersized, for sure.


Thanks for the tip. I will see what is available at what price once I get near a chandler. I...

Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

That's one of those "Why didn't I think of this" things... Thanks!


I've been thinking about that comment quite a bit. When we do hoist the main in that way, the crew that is pulling the line has...

Re: 2:1 purchase for genoa sheet

That sounds like a complicated setup, when adding all that hardware (on two sides) we are in new-bigger winch territory :biggrin:



that does sound painful!

Re: 2:1 purchase for genoa sheet

That is certainly a very good point. I guess I better try everything else (affordable) before changing to 2:1

Re: 2:1 purchase for genoa sheet

Thanks for the tip! Mine are now 25 and still going strong. Except, not strong enough :biggrin: I will consider a second hand one. Although it's a bit of a logistic problem here in SEA, especially...

Re: 2:1 purchase for genoa sheet

Yes, and I do understand that. As the hardware is old I plan to change the traveler anyways, go from 32mm to 40mm.

Re: 2:1 purchase for genoa sheet

It's mainly a subjective feeling. I have an engineering background, my gut tells me the loads are too high. I feel it requires too much effort to crank the winch. That said, the tracks, cars and...

Re: 2:1 purchase for genoa sheet

It's actually slightly overlapping, never measured it but I'd say 105%. The blocks would bang on the mast when tacking.

Nice meeting you, remember I came across your company few years back when I...

Re: 2:1 purchase for genoa sheet

Yes, I agree that my winch is most likely too small, it's a setup that I inherited. As stated in a previous post, a bigger winch is currently out of my budget, the pain is also not strong enough to...

Re: 2:1 purchase for genoa sheet

Thanks for the input! Would you mind to elaborate why you think it's a bad idea? I can see that the blocks at the clew would introduce additional complexity and might be dangerous to the crew if the...

Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

That's most likely another factor. The 16mm line is hard to get out of the self tailer when it was under load. But unfortunately, tailing the line manually doesn't solve the problem with the friction...

Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

Everyone, thanks so much for all the input, very appreciated!

To sum it up:
- My lines are most likely oversized
- My winches are maybe a bit undersized
- The entry angle to the winch might not...

Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

I think that was just my failed attempt at explaining a workaround for the real problem :wink: If none of the solutions suggested here will work I will make a video and demonstrate it

Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

You guys might be up to something here. I have never considered the entry angle, will definitely look into this. Thanks also for the tip with the angled shim, sounds like good solution if the angle...

Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

Yes, I can, half way up. The halyard runs smoothly and the cars on the mast track are in reasonable condition, been maintaining them regularly.


Thanks for the input! I think there is no problem,...

Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

Thanks much for the explanation! This is pretty much exactly how I would hoist the main sail - if it would be possible. It confirms that I am not too stupid to operate a winch after all these years...

Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

Sorry, the picture is a bit misleading, it's only to illustrate the situation. As Sailmonkey said, the line is not loaded in the picture.

As I wrote before, not the first time I am using a winch....

Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

Re: High friction when winching 16mm lines

Seems not to matter, it gets worse the more wraps I have. If I have 3 or 4 wraps it's almost impossible to work.

The line comes straight from above at almost 90C, see attached picture. The main...

High friction when winching 16mm lines

I have a couple of lines on my boat that are almost impossible to winch. All of these lines are 16mm, the biggest problem is the main halyard. What happens is that as soon as there is tension on the...
