Default "The Wincher"

From my limited experience on friends boats, they are not really effective
as a 'Self tailer'. You generally still have to tail with your free hand.

However, the seem to work briefly for gripping the line until you get a
chance to cleat it. If there were some sort of stripper in this setup then
they might work for self tailing.

I have also observed that the rubber eventually deteriorated from long (I
don't know how long) exposure to the sun and weather.
