Main halyard winch, 1sp. or 2sp?

ospam (Ilv2sl) wrote in message ...
I'm going to replace the old wire main halyard winch, on my 35' sloop, with a
line winch. Just wondering if there is a need for a 2sp. winch, for halyard use
only. Other 2sp. winches are available for lifting, hoisting aloft, etc.
Thanks to all.

Ahoy Captain:

I had two speed on my 32' cruising sloop and found it good. One speed to
get it up, 2nd to really draw it tight.
