I have, however, heard several people say: "Geez, this winch is too expensive." While on the subject what do you guys feel is the maximum force you can put on a winch handle? The "generally accepted" formula for determining winch ratio is (SA*6)/35 assuming 35 pounds being the maximum force ... I don't know your source for this, Glenn, but I have pretty much always heard the figure of 50 pounds quoted. Then you do the ratio math from there. Without looking it up I think Wally Ross has some tables for this (my sailing books are still in boxes 3 moths after the move to a new house). -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://kerrydeare.tripod.com |
