Paddy_SP Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I have an old capstan-style winch here that is taking up valuable shelf space - as a result, I've decided to put it up for sale. I have absolutely no idea what make/model it is though, so don't know how to describe it accurately for the purposes of sale. I'd therefore be most grateful if anyone here who recognises it would be so kind as to tell me what it is! It's rated to 90 kg. SWL, and 130 kg. test load, so I'm assuming it's for something like a trailer? As ever, any help would be most appreciated - especially with a rough valuation!

steve b Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Looks like a yacht sail/boom rope capstan. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Agreed - but there's not a smidge of salt anywhere near it, so perhaps it was off a freshwater vessel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I would say so, being steel. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
