Anyone have an experience with winch raising main and jib? My fiance is encouraging me to trade "up" to someone with winch operating main and jib as she has recently had carpel tunnel surgery on both wrists and finds the task extremely difficult on the Capri 14.2. I'd rather keep my baby (the boat, and the misses lol).
Is it feasible to convert to a winch system of operations? I've tried generous application of McLube SailKote on the boltrope track and the Jib hanks have been replaced with brass spring pistons to ease things a bit.
Anyone with any thoughts?
