I will go back to the start of the process but i thought i would send these images of how the winches have been fitted in some of the boats. The key is to keep all the weight on centre where possible You will see examples of a winch being fitted in the centre both vertically and horizontally. I have now gone over to using arm winches mounted under the foredeck. i keep a centre web down the middle of the foredeck for structural strength and appearance. There are many ways of fitting the winches and servos but it is important to keep access easy. The orange boat is a much modified Alternative made of cedar but i did not like the colour of the wood so it got painted ! It has a winch mounted on a shelf fitted just in front of the bulkhead. the final image is the first V8 i made. As you can see the layout is really old school ( copied from my Jazz made many years ago). Some of these ideas have been changed and discarded so they are just ideas of how it has been done in the past.
