The modern offshore boat typically runs all halyards and control lines aft on the cabin house to stopper banks. Usually, the pit person has only two winches to handle eight or nine lines. With so many control lines and so few winches, it's inevitable that there will be times when you're short a winch. To utilize both winches most effectively, place a deck organizer aft of the stopper bank so lines can be routed to the far side winch.
