Thanks Jake. The 35iii is a very close bigger sister.OK, so you lead your jib straight to the winch from the genoa track, and it works.. check. Should have thought the spinnaker through - I've only ever flown mine with sheets, no guys, and only in light air. I can see that sailing with the spin "in anger" with sheets and guys you would want both winches. Seems kinda obvious now.... I am assuming the 4 lines would run though 4 snatch blocks clipped to the rail.
Do you use the short inboard tracks as well? IF so, for what? Dave Syer, 33-2 Jake Brodersen to cnc-list, me Dave, I find the secondary winches very useful when singlehanding. They are well within my reach. They are essential when running a spinnaker though. I got rid of the turning blocks on the quarters. Yes, they probably helped make a fair lead to the winch, but the extra friction was not worth it. I got rid of them and have never missed them.

The 33-2 deck has provision for secondary jib sheet winches and sheet lead blocks on a short length of coaming-mounted t-track. Windstar does not have either installed. How useful are the secondary winches and the coaming-mounted sheet leads? Thanks! Dave.
