The owner of the 49-year-old sailboat Tessie replaces two original non-self-tailing winches with a pair of Seldén S52 self-tailing winches.0:50 Because the provided adapter plates did not align with the existing deck holes, the installation required drilling new mounting holes, which were then sealed with epoxy.3:20 During the initial setup, the winches were incorrectly oriented relative to the sheet lead, necessitating a second round of disassembly and re-drilling to align the drive gears properly.4:53 Testing in 30-knot winds confirmed that the self-tailing mechanism provides a smoother, less choppy release of the genoa sheet compared to the previous manual winches.7:56 Additional maintenance included removing and resealing 64 bolts on the genoa tracks to stop cabin leaks, replacing water-damaged roof panels, and repainting the cabin interior.11:23 The project concludes with the boat prepared for upcoming passages to Edinburgh and Lindisfarne.13:42 Proper winch orientation relative to the sheet lead is critical for maintaining mechanical efficiency and preventing line chafe.
