"Just curious--what was the problem with your primary?"

The starboard winch failed to hold the sheet tension once and since then has not been used. I suspect the pawls are stuck somehow but I have not removed the winch yet to check it out. The boat is now back at home and inside her house and I plan to work on both 52's to get them back to 100%. I have a list of items I am going to be working on this year and the winch is not a big concern at this time since I know it is a relatively simple repair. The winch failure was at the end of a great and long season of sailing.
