[C38] Cockpit layout

[Phil Gay]

I imagine there are a thousand ways to lead your lines aft, but this is my
way.  On the port side of the companionway hatch, from outboard to inboard,
spin halyard, jib halyard, 1st reef, 2nd reef, outhaul, and boom vang.  On
the starboard side I have the mainsheet, the main halyard, the spin pole
lift, and the fore guy.

 

I like the jib halyard to be on the port side of the mast with a red tracer
and the main halyard to be on the starboard side with a green tracer.  The
spin halyard is solid black as is the boom vang but the lines are different
sizes.  The spin pole lift line is blue like the sky and the fore guy is
green like the grass (code word for down).  The front of the cockpit is a
little busy with all the lines, but I am a tweaker and I really enjoy being
able to adjust the sails without leaving the cockpit.  I would like to move
the traveler cleats back a bit also.  Did I mention that I am a little
obsessive-compulsive?

 

I used mostly Lewmar rope clutches since the open backward and don't
interfere with the dodger.

I have a couple of posts held up by the moderator for size as well, so Ill
try to keep this to a short question without the aid of the pic or drawing.
I dont like the way my cockpit is set up, mainly that the main sheet and
main halyard share the same winch.   Deck hardware includes on the port two
rope clutches and one lewmar 30, on the starboard one rope clutch and a
lewmar 16.   I am thinking that on the port is should go spin. foreguy, spin
t. lift, genoa hlyrd, main hlyrd, traveler,  then on the starboard,
traveller, mainsheet, vang leaving room on the deck organizer for either
cunningham or reefing, If this still makes sense what is the starboard rope
clutch intended for?  would you use it for the mainsheet?
