Capstans
Why Capstans?
Rather
than using the hand-over-hand method of retrieving lines, the capstan offers a
mechanical advantage that is both faster and safer. The capstan does the heavy
lifting with only a small amount of effort. The maximum speed of the line
retrieval depends on the rotational speed of the drum. The benefit is that the
retrieval speed can be adjusted by decreasing the tension on the retrieved line,
maintaining control over a very heavy load with little effort.
This useful
device, which has been around since the early days of sailing, is still used
today. Recreational fishermen, like commercial fishermen, use these for hauling
crab and lobster pots and there are many other uses aboard boats. The few
mechanical parts and ease of use have made this a favorite of fisherman
worldwide. While chains should NEVER be wrapped around a drum, the majority of
lines can be handled on a capstan.
A capstan, typically operated by an
easy to use footswitch allows the boater to control lines with
ease without having additional crew members. Powerwinch has a model to fit your
needs. All Powerwinch capstans come with a foot control switch that allows for
hands-free operation.
