32-200 running rigging guide or resources

[BlueCanoe]

I’m looking for a rigging guide or any recourses for running rigging on a 1990 32-200.
I was considering using 2 of the cabin winches to control the main sheet instead of
Using the traveler in the cabin.

the boat has a lefiell mast with 4 cabin winches (I think most of these have 3).

I have new sails and am replacing all the running rigging and plan to replace the standing rigging next month.

It kinda depends (in my opinion) on a number of things, including

-- do you race or cruise?

-- do you normally sail alone/short-handed or with a crew?

-- are you planning to go offshore?

-- do you have (or plan to have) a dodger?

All of those things (and probably a dozen others) - plus personal preference - will be factors in deciding how you want to have your deck-layout work. For me and the way I use the boat, I chose to have a 6:1 mainsheet tackle on the traveler, rather than have the mainsheet run along the deck to a winch. It allows me to "play" the mainsheet from near the wheel when I am sailing alone, but that's just me.
