Sailboat Winch Set-Ups
The double haul (pulley on end of servo arm) provides twice the winch line travel than would be available if the winch line was connected directly to the servo arm. This sort of setup suits smaller boats (say up to 800mm), a drum winch is more appropriate for larger boats. Arm winches are fast, drum winches are strong.

RC Sailboat Rigging Setup- Briefed in 17 Easy Steps
Re-rigging a sailboat can cost anything from $1,000 to $5,000. Re-rigging a 40-foot boat with wire is estimated to cost roughly $100 per foot. Which includes the round-trip costs of hauling, launching, and unstepping the rig (about $2,500). Final Words. We've discussed here in detail on the rc sailboat rigging setup.
THE AMYA
The Soling 1m single arm setup on the You Asked page has a single purchase for the jib sheet and a double purchase for the main sheet, but a single arm setup. CR-914's come with a single arm sail servo, and use a single purchase setup too. If it's a wide boat then a double arm can be used and a long arm can be mounted to it.
Sailboat Winch Set-Ups
A big piece can be cut from the clamshell container for grocery store cupcakes/cookies. Punch a hole where the sail servo stem comes through and just let it rest on the top of the servo. The slack sheets just lay on the guard. Keep it simple and it works better. And make sure you place a drop of CA on the knots.
How to Sail an RC Sailboat
Moving forward in a straight line. First, the basic skills. With the boat in the water, start with the wind half way between the front (bow) of the boat, and the side (beam). Keeping the rudder straight, trim (move) the sails so that they are close to the hull (close hauled) and the boat should move forward.

Rig Building Tips: IOM class rules don't allow rotating masts and the masts mostly used are without an internal track. The best mast is 12mm or ½" aluminum tube available at local hardware and metal stores. If you want to invest more you can order from RC yachting accessory dealers as well and save maybe 50g with the rig.

Winch set up. The Tippecanoe T 50 That I built a few years ago has a pretty simple set up. There are 2 half circle shapes that are built up of 3 pieces of ply.

In mine, the sail lines just run direct from the ends of the arms, thence to a tiny hole in the deck and from there right to the requisite sails. You can't get simpler than that. For winch setup pics, try google image search using RC sailboat winch setup as terms. Best of luck!
Drum sail winch
RE: Drum sail winch. My personal favourite way of doing the job is to have the winch below deck, use a double drum, and a continuous loop. Starting from the lower part of the drum and assuming that the sails are fully in, there would be however many turns the winch would offer plus a bit for luck, then through a fairlead facing sternward, round ...
