For those unfamiliar with self tailing winches, they are excellent for short handed or single handed sailing. The self tailing mechanism on the top of the winch holds the line for you, yet when you crank the handle the sheet. is hauled in without the line stacking up on the winch. This allows one person to handle both the helm and the jib sheet.
