One of first things I've done for my new toy.....'79 CP 16... is order new sails. This week I expect to pick up a new main and a 150% Genoa. I figured I could always use the existing working jib for heavy winds. The Genoa is expected to be my daily driver!
The boat came with Jib tracks. What I don't know is will I need small winches to handle the extra load from the Genoa.
What have you done?

s/v Morning Calm CP #1002
I had a 150 on my 16, but I only used it on lighter air days and didn't need a winch to handle it.
Also have a 150 on my CP16 and never needed a winch , but only used it once in heavy air, use it for light to moderate air.....nies
ever since i made my jib furler ive used my 150 for a drifter. my 16 has camcleats near the aft cleats. no winches needed
