With so many control lines and so few winches, it's inevitable that there will be times when you're short a winch. To utilize both winches most effectively, place a deck organizer aft of the stopper bank so lines can be routed to the far side winch. This is a common technique on custom boats which often lead the control lines straight aft to a stopper bank, but it can also be done very effectively on production boats that lead half of the controls down either side of the cabin house. Deck organizers should have one more sheave than the number of control lines they will handle. Pass the lines between the sheaves so they can be turned to the winch on either side of the boat.
