Hi I'm gonna get self tailing winches for the jib sheets.. wondering is it worth getting 2 speed winches or just single speed?

Single speed much much cheaper..

Cheers

G'day,

Just a thought.

I solo sail and have single speed NON tailing winches.
In fact I hardly use the winches at all as Top Hat sails can easily be handled by hand alone apart for the final inch!

But if you are racing, well how much do you want to spend :mrgreen:
