Hi all, OK I have a 46ft Hartley Tahitian Ketch. She has never been sailed yet. We are currently fitting her out with deck hardware. I am about to fit two large sheet winches, one port, one Starboard ofcourse, to take care of the large Furling Headsail. We have all the necessary winches on the masts for Halyards, Reefing etc etc.
My question is, do I need more than the two large Main winches, or will the two be adiquate. What am I missing in my thinking.
