The winch is one of the most misunderstood tools on a sailboat. Used right, it multiplies your force. Used wrong, it damages gear, or hands. Here are the fundamentals every beginner must learn before trimming under load: • Always keep fingers clear: No wraps around the hand, no fingers inside the coils, no pressure points near the drum. • Wrap correctly: 2–3 turns for low load, 3–4 turns for higher load. Too few = slipping. Too many = friction jams. • Pull, then winch: Take in the slack by hand
