Override and lead on the winch is one key issue

Your lead to and from the winch. The lead from the main to the winch must come from the below the winch -- or if you wrap the winch, then you'll have a override which is (as you know) not acceptable.

Have you considered a variation on putting the lines simply from the boom end through the traveller and keep all of the sheet actions aft of the wheel?
