Winches and sail spped

I have the standard barlow 16 winches and added a rubber ring to make them semi self tailing, cost about $20.00. I enjoy sailing in 15 MPH winds and usueally with my 150 rolled to about 110 and a full main. Up wind I usually reach about 5.5 Knts and down wind with the 150 fully rolled out, I average 6.5Knts and maxed at 7.0 knts. Althought in reality, the 7.0 knts was with wind gusts of 20knts.EJ TewsO'Day 25 _/)Jennifer Lea
