If you have three wenches aboard, you must not be married.
Winches on the other hand might be useful equipment.
Where are the
jib sheet fairleads?? If they are inside the shrouds, the sheets should run inside the shrouds. This is usually the case with
jibs. With Genoas, the tracks are usually outside the shrouds and the sheets should be lead outboard of the shrouds as well.
Be aware, that some Cals, especially if they were rigged for single-handed racing, may have the coaming
winches setup for cross sheeting, rather than regular sheeting and will tend to override if you run the sheets from the turning block to the
winch on the same side. Cross sheeting allows the single-handed sailor to sit on the high side and control the genny sheets from there.

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.
