Hey, this talk of winch lead angles has me pondering again the setup we 
use on Secret Plans, I'm wondering what other 35-3 owners do.  We 
usually run the jib sheets on the secondaries (aft pair of winches) 
because on the primaries the winch handle hits the dodger, and if we use 
the secondaries I (while steering) can also crank the winch.  The line 
comes off the jib track block, back to the cheek block adjacent to the 
secondary winch, and up at a horrible angle onto the winch.  Which leads 
to more friction than there should be.

I'm thinking of just going from the block on the track to the winch.

Any better setups?  Cutting back the dodger isn't on the table. How do 
other 35-3 owners do it?

regards,
