Hey listers; ? My primary winches (Lewmar 48-52 (?), grey color, not chrome) have lost most of their initial roughness so that now it takes more turns than it should for the line to not slip. Given that they have been used regularly for ~ 17 years for club racing, I am not disappointed nor surpr

Yep. I do that, too, but the vang attaches even further forward on the boom than the sheet and I can't get the pressure I need without a lot of sheet tension. The boom on a 110 is 15' long and the sheet is attached about 1/3 of the way back. It's really hard to haul down hard enough to keep the
