Anyone have any experience/thoughts to share about winch launching a

Thanks,

Should not be a problem. Keep in mind that when the SHK was designed,
winch-launching was the primary take-off method in Germany. Even some
of the earlier glass ships like the ASW-15a did have only a CG-hook
while the aero-tow hook was an option.
