Runners
Hello,
If I understand you aright, you want a rope clutch on the starboard side, so you can reef the jib, but there is no space for a clutch. First, on a boat that size, a cam cleat should be plenty to belay the furling line. Second, do you really need a winch to reef that jib? Optimal lead blocks, intermediate blocks, ratchet block aft, rig tune, etc. should make for minimal furling effort.Third, you don't actually need secondary winches; the weather primary is free of sheet.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
