Not sure about the angle, but from memory I think the top of the pad eye is about 1.5 inches off the deck and it is mounted about 6 inches or so in front of the winch.

Cheers

>>We have two speed winches without teak pads under them. We also have harken stand-up blocks just forward of the winches which are also used for cross sheeting. We rarely get over-rides although it has happened before. It seems to be a combination of keeping tension on the jib sheet during the tack in addition to having the proper angle from the over-ride preventer and the winch. I think 10 degrees is what I have heard to be the optimum angle.

>>I may try putting a thin pad under the winches to increase the angle.

>>Dan, what would you say is the angle from the eyelet to the winch on your boat?
