We raced yesterday in 20+ knot winds and I found that the Barient 28 self 
tailing winches were both slipping in the self-tailer making it hard to bring 
the genoa in all the way.  I cannot find a line specification for the Barient, 
and when I replaced the line a few years ago, I got 7/16 VPC instead of the 
1/2” that was original. Is this to be expected in high winds?  I found 
something from Barient that said that the self-tailer was adjustable with 
spacers, but I can’t find that in the parts diagram I have, so I don’t know if 
it is true and whether I need to change spacing.  I had the same problem with 
the Barient self-tailing winch we were using for the mainsheet which also now 
has a slightly down sized VPC.  Is VPC just slippery and this is a 
characteristic of that line?  Thanks- Dave
