Try using your body instead of your arms, when grinding. Stand with one foot on 
the cockpit seat, and one foot against the rail. Use both hands on the winch 
handle, and grind away. Depending on where your winch is located, you'll either 
face forward or aft while grinding, and let someone else call the trim.

I have been having progressive problems with elbow pain from cranking winches 
over the summer. Has anyone tried a Winchrite for genoa winches or perhaps 
electric winches are in my future? Thanks- Dave
