I mean I know why, but does anyone else miss the ability to ratchet in a sheet? I have a smallish boat (26ft). After I've tacked (or during tack) I pull in the working jib sheet (to be) till its as tight as possible then wind it in good 'n' proper on the low gear of winch. I've never really needed to use the higher gear and sometimes find I can't get a good 'working angle' to do full turns on the handle in low gear due to position of mainsheet.
I'm considering trying to swap my 2 speed (ST) winches for single speed ones - is that crazy?
