Hi

I have made a boat winches KNOL - and would like suggestions on how to
improve it.

http://knol.google.com/k/mads-gorm-l...pvu60g9z3k1/2#

I would like more links to articles about how to choose the right
winch - sort some best for the money, best winch, and right size for
the purpose articles.

Hope you have some suggestions.

Write on a subject of which you have some knowledge.

That's a bit harsher than I'd say it.

Add a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winch

and possibly some commercial stuff:

Sailboat Winches
or
http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/westadvisor/10001/-1/10001/SailboatWinches.htm

or

Harken or other winch manufacturers.

Might be something in SailNet.com or cruisenews.net

You'll do a better service if you don't reinvent the wheel.

It is possible to configure most large winches to work either
clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Is that a one time deal - or can you do this during saling ?

It involves disassembling the winch and reversing pawls. I would avoid
doing it underway.
