I just figured out what a self-tailing winch is! I always thought my jam cleats made them self-tailing.
Yeah I am that much of a novice to sailing boats bigger than knockabouts. It seems to me that they would be most useful when racing or single or short handing. My assumption is that they remove the need for someone to keep pressure on the sheet (or whatever you are winching) behind the winch thus allowing a one hand operation (or one person operation on larger winches). Does that remove the need for jam cleats behind the winches? This is just for my knowledge. Based on the cost I have seen for new self-tailing winches I have suddenly become satisfied with my non tailing winches….for now. My plan is to take them off the boat and bring them to my shop to clean and lubricate them. I’m a pretty decent mechanic. May I assume that disassembling them is a relatively simple process?

Racing w them is worth getting used to. Our boat came w 4 self tailers and 2 non. The non-self tailers are primary winches we use only when we have crew for racing. These winches require two guys, one cranking and one tailing. I added big jam cleats to speed up the release and trim. If I replace them, they will be self tailers from Anderson probaby. Otherwise, I may remove them completely and rely on the four self tailing winches.

Of the ten winches I have on board, eight are self tailing. They are especially helpful when sailing short handed. As the helmsman, I like to tweak the genoa trim from time to time. My aft winches are great for that.

I prefer them for thejib sheets. Hard to imagine the bearings are shot. A good clean and regrease should do it. Use oil not grease on springs and pawls.

The plan in my little head right now is to 1) change out the halyards for all synthetic, 2) try to pull new wire from the top of the mast and rig new instruments, the old don't work anyways so I'm not losing anything even if I'm unsuccessful, 3) check bushings/trade out sheaves after the mast comes down in the fall. Theres a lot of talk about self tailing winches, aftermarket or original equipment? Eight Barient winches on ours, none are self tailing and all need servicing, I see West Marine sells springs and pawls, I should get a couple of sets for the inevitable loss, if needed I should be able to pick up bearings at a local bearing shop?
