In this video, David demonstrates how to use a SELFtailing winch effectively, so that it SELFtails which means you don't have to tail it LOL because it's SELFtailing. I race on a hot sailing race yacht in San Diego and even some crew get this wrong! They still try to tail the winch when it's selftailing.
