Mark,
Are you sure you need self tailing winches? We rarely even use our 
winch handle. It's pretty easy to drop the line in a cleat if you 
want to put it down. Even in a strong breeze sheeting the jib in 
isn't a big deal. I suppose if you were singlehanding a lot in all 
kinds of weather it might make sense.

Does anyone out there have self-tailers?
