On a 46 foot heavy displacement ketch you would probably want two primary winches to handle the Headstaysail (jib) sheets and one winch each for the staysail sheet (assuming that the staysail is self-tacking) mainsail sheet, and mizzen sheet. If you plan to fly a spinnaker you might want to add a pair of winches to fly the chute with although the jib sheet winches can double as spin sheet winches assuming that you drop the jib before raising the chute, which is often a bad idea as the jib serves to prevent a wrap on the raise.
