On my C&C35 mark I, I replaced the primary winches with Lewmar 42's. I used to
sail/race with a 170 but now our class has limited the largest sail to 155. 62
yo and still occasionally single-hand in races.
Letting the jib/genoa backwind so the wind is pushing the bow into the turn
before releasing the sheet helps, as well as then slowing the turn so the jib
can be brought in quickly while not under as much pressure. Not much boat speed
should be lost doing this.
