I guess what I need to do first (apart from finishing the boat <BG> ) 
is to take a look at the mast and see what lines go where.

>From memory, the starboard side has 3 lines coming out of the mast 
base, through a Harken 3-sheave deck organizer, and back to the cabin 
top where there were 3 Spinlock PX Powercleats, with a Lewmar #6 
winch just aft of the cleats.

The port side is identical, except there are onlt 2 lines running aft 
through a 2-sheave deck organizer to 2 Powercleats and the #6 winch.

Looking at the fitting instructions for the Powercleats it indictes 
they are not to be used in conjunction with a winch, only to be used 
for hand-tensioned loads. Hmmmm any feedback on this one?

I have to figure out how far apart to space the cleats, and how far 
forward of the winch to locate them, and if I should center the winch 
on the center cleat. Lots of fun ... I'll be happy to be that far 
along!

Meanwhile, I've got a bank of a dozen flourescent lights mounted over 
the boat, so early darkness is no longer an issue. I think the 
neighbors suspect I have a grow op going ;)

With all the wet weather, I've moved operaions to the heated shop and 
have been busy re-finishing all the interior and exterior pieces of 
woodwork. Looks like it'll be a while before any painting can be done 
in the boat shed.
