Hi Herold. Sounds obvious but I'll say it anyway: Have you tried 4 wraps?
I read somewhere that the "Correct" number of turns is 4. On my boat it's a necessity, when It's blowing, 3 wraps is a waste of time and effort, they all slip. 4 turns gets it done. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA On Sat, Jul 25, 2015 at 12:41 PM, patricia barkley-higginbottom via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Have an original equipment Barient 27 two speed self tailer winch on my > 35-3 which allows the genoa sheet to slip under load, even when there are > three wraps on the winch.
