These things are cool! Ocean Planet has them all over the place so you can lead almost any line to almost any winch. Way trick.

These would be neat to install infront of the secondary winches to cross sheet the genoa sheets, this way on a windy day everyone could be on the high side. I use a Harken Ratchet block right now, But this seems like it would work better because you wouldn't have to run it threw a block. Options, Options.

You can use your genoa winches to cross sheet -- I do it all the time. You just have to do a 270 degree wrap on the port winch (90 on starboard). And, I think those are primaries.

Brooke, I really try and keep the winches free for the spinnaker sheets in higher winds, it really becomes a mess when the genoa is cross sheeted and you are trying to sheet the spinnaker guy and sheet to the wiches because its ripping the crap out of your gloves. For the Capri 25 we have 4 winches 2 on top of the cabin top, and two on the deck level, i am calling the Halyard winches my primary, sence I use them first, then sheet/.

That makes sense -- the spinnaker part. That's not an issue with me. As for primary vs. secondary, I've usually seen those differentiated by which is bigger, not by the sequence of usage. Thus, the jib sheet winches, if larger, would be primaries.
