Do you know of af Formula for selecting winch based on sail area boat
length displacement etc.


As a starting point, take the manufacturer's suggested winch for a given
sail, then double it.

You will be in the ball park.

I select my winches so that a 100 lb woman can handle the largest sail
with out the need for me to get out of my bunk and do it for her.

No one ever said my winches were TOO BIG.
