Kyle,
That shot (52) of the portside coaming winches is interesting for non-romantical reasons too! The featured winch base is real interesting because it looks like it's welded aluminum. It looks simple and straight-forward. It seems like it's a great way out of the winch island dilemma - in weight for sure.
(bulb lites up..)
Looking at it and thinking of how some skippers want to sit on the coaming (maybe more of an Ariel thing)...
why not make a coaming-out extension exactly the same way for sitting on???
Make a longer 'coaming seat' that the winch could share?
Help support the poor coaming.
Design it the same way, slightly lower, to have a key for the posterior.

Great shot!
