[C38] Cockpit layout

[Steve Smolinske]

Phil, 

Thanks for the input, did you move your winches inboard?  My current location only allows about half turns because of the dodger interference.   When the time gets closer (spring) I may be asking to come up and take a look at your set up.  I talked with a rigger the other day for some ideas and am going to sail this season with the set up as is to get an idea of what to change.   BTW thanks for the post on the V berth plug, I put mine in this weekend and it works like a charm.

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?
