I'd go with a 16ST one-speed lewmar. Going from a 10 to a 16 is a reasonable leap in size...going all the way up to a 30 is a bit overkill.

BTW, you can always use Lewmar's winch sizing calculator to figure out if the 16St will work for you.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
