I like having secondary winches. We use them for spinnakers, of course, but also for reaching when we attached an outboard sheet that runs through either our outboard genoa car or, more often, through the (brace) block on the outboard edge of the deck... this allows us to open the slot by using an outboard sheet, on the secondary winch, but still have the regular inboard sheet on the primary winch.
