Thanks John. Does it get confusing/messy with two sheets running off the one winch or do you use different coloured sheets? I also assume you have a footblock/cheekblock mounted on the deck adjacent to the rail to feed the sheets into the winch. If so, did you mount these or did you order your Hanse with them already installed?

Hi Tony,
Guess I did not make myself clear - sorry.
Both our genoa sheets are same spec and colour as each other.
We do not run two sheets on the one winch, we have both main winches electric, and use one of each for each genoa sheet.
Only problem this creates is it leaves nix electric to trim the mainsheet with a particular problem when cracked off the breeze.  So this is why when on stb tack, we lead our mainsheet which exits on part side, round the back of the port main winch (which of course would be loaded with the port genoa sheet) and up to the windward stb unloaded electric winch - and adjust from there.  It means on that stb board we have that mainsheet right across the cockpit - and obviously a lot of load on that port winch.  But it all works.
Re cheek block - the 461 came with moulded deck relief onto which cheek blocks were fixed. 
These were angled to give a fairlead to the aft most smaller winches, but can be used to direct a sheet onto the main winches also.
Guess they were orginally planned only for the spinnaker brace which we bring in midway down the rail and into the cheek block before going to the winch.
When we use the cheek block for the genoa - we add a second set of floating blocks to take that brace. 
Finally we have like Brad, fitted stainless stips to the outside edge of the cockpit combing just outside those main winches so as to protect the plastic from any wear by the genoa sheets.
This does not sound completely clear - even reading it back and editing now twice before posting - but I'm hoping you are smarter than me and can understand what I am describing........Smile
Cheers
JOHN

Thanks John. Yes does make sense but needed to concentrate and read twice - not the writing - just quite technical. The 461 sounds as if it was a little better setup than the 470 - which has all been somewhat of a mystery. Cheers, Tony
