The original height of the winches were governed by the height of the cockpit coamings and now that the coamings are going to be shorter and lower then the height of th winch bases can be reduced to a more easily used height and the winch handle will not get in the way of the guard wires as they did before.
The angle to the genoa car will be maintained just that the height of the hardwood base blocks will be half the height as before and so make winching easier.
The new hardwood bases being glued together with epoxy glue and once they are cured then the shaping will start with getting the angle correct withe genoa car
The old brackets will be kept to take the angles off the tops so that we can maintain the correct angle with the genoa cars when they are in the different position as the genoa cars are moved depending on the sail set on the boat.
