Thanks guys, I, actually my sail maker, was thinking of the over r ride potential. I am thinking the solution lies in either another turning block to bring the sheet in at a better angle, or the simple fix of working with he crew on tailing the sheet at a better angle. At any rate thanks to all of you for the number of responses and the thinking and more importantly the experience behind them..The list comes thru again! Techlin

The coaming is canted outboard so if you leave the winch without a level platform and try to tail while sitting you will have overrrides. As long as you are aware of the issue it can be avoided, but I have seen many times experienced sailors come aboard and try to tail off the winch and get repeated overrides. Just FYI.
