Ebb,

Timely post. As of lately, when time allows that is, I've been sitting in the cockpit with tiller in hand trying to decide where to mount the winches.

113 came with two sets of Lewmar 7s. One set was mounted about two feet aft of the cabin and the second set was mounted about two feet forward of the aft end of the cockpit. We're planning on mounting only two winches about two feet back from the cabin. Two humongus Lewmar 42 ST's. Yeah, they're way too big for the job but I got a smokin' deal on them a few years back off of...you got it, E-bay. Maybe I should try to horse trade them for some appropriate Andersons.

The four winches looked pretty 'cool' but I honestly don't know what I'd do all of them other than stub my toes. I plan on getting a asymetrical down the road and will probably never fly a typical spinnaker myself (note to self: sell spinnaker too)so I don't think a secondary set would come in handy.

I dunno. What do you think?
