When you're racing, you'll hoist the spinnaker before you douse the genoa. During that time, the spinnaker sheet and guy will be working, and the genoa sheet will also be working, so you'll need separate winches. When you're cruising, you won't be in such a hurry, and you can douse the genoa before you hoist the spinnaker, and one set of winches will suffice.
