Touche' has a very narrow stern so similar issue finding a fair lead for
the guy.  Touche' has a pad eye on the aft corner of the cockpit coaming
where we attach a block to turn the guy to the winch.  See:

It isn't entirely fair but it works.  Other choice would be the toe rail.

The twing is attached to the toe rail near the widest beam.
