Two wraps on a sheet with a lot of load on it is not enough in my opinion...

[@NautilusSailing]

agreed, it really depends on the load, too many is better than not enough.

You are inconsistent in the video with respect to ALWAYS have your palm facing the winch. As you are easing the line, your fingers of BOTH hands are facing the winch. Also terms: what you call the "feeder" is called the "guide" by some winch manufacturers.

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, terminology is different around the world. Sailing is a strange sport when it comes to words.
