Title: Cabin Top Winches
Post by: J.Twighlight on March 10, 2026, 04:07:24 PM

My 80 P-32 has a "unique" cabin top configuration, just forward of the mid-ships hatch and aft of the mast. A Reefing Line "Clutch with its own winch, then two additional winches Port and STBD, supposedly used for a "stay-sail" which I have. Anyone with this configuration? Have they used it for its original purpose, re-purposed the winches, or removed the winches and blocked-off the holes or added ventilation or something else ?

I see them taking up extra room for "Bay" sailing... thanks for any insight.
