Bill,
I have been considering adding a Dodger as well, and was pondering about the possibility to allow a dodger design that still allow the use of the secondary winch.
If we were to allow a change to the by-law so that we can remove the tertiary winches to eventually be replaced by a blocker for jib sheets and move inside the secondary winches - that will address this problem and others:
. Less expensive and less maintenance - only one winch instead of two.
. Stronger winch for halyard makes it also easier as well for weaker folks, youngster or elder.
Alternatively also reroute the jib sheet to the main - which I do quite also address the need for an additional blocker.
Any thoughts?
