Yes, hydraulic of course; you have the hydraulic package for the keel already in place, so it is a simple extension of the system to power the winches.
He! He! I liked Mark Richard's comments in the April Australian Sailing about the hydraulics on Wild Oats XI - "it's hard enough to get two good gorillas, let alone 16"
Best ride ever by a long shot, did that for 3 hours. Heaps of fun. Was only 30k of wind in this vid, should have seen us when it got to 40k! Will post a another one now.
