Mostly because it's easier to not have to get the sheet in
the self-tailer.
It's a lot easier to just put the line on a cleat just
behind the winch.


Wha? What kind of STs do you have? Before I make ready to
come about, I wrap the lazy sheet around the winch body and
through the self tailing part. How hard is that?
