Any recommendations to a decent alternative for self-tailing winches? Currently I have a pair of Lemar 40 STs that I use a sheet winches, but I can't reach them from the wheel while singlehanding. I singlehand about 30% of the time, and need to be able to trim the jib better while behind the wheel.
As a solution, I am debating either picking up a pair of used non-selftailers, and then moving the self-tailers close to the wheel, or installing the non-selftailers close to the wheel with those jam cleats on plates, or perhaps those blue "Wincher" things.
Any good alternatives to making non-selftailers a bit more user friendly?
