Boat Winch MelbourneA boat winch is a machine that restrains and manipulates the anchor chain on a boat, allowing the anchor to be raised and lowered by means of chain cable.

In its simplest form, it consists of a spool and attached hand crank. The spool can also be called the winch drum. More elaborate designs have gear assemblies and can be powered by electric, hydraulic, pneumatic or internal combustion drives.

Winches are typically used to raise the mainsail and to trim in jib sheets. The line is wrapped clockwise around the winch drum and a handle inserted in the top; cranking the handle turns the drum tobring in the line.

How to use a Boat Winch:

Winches provide the mechanical advantage to hoist and trim the sails and running rigging on a boat. Act of rotating the handle is grinding, pulling on the line being tightened is tailing. Every skipper has a place where each winch handle is kept when not in action. Pick the handle up by the shaft with your thumb over the lock at the end away from the grip. This makes it easy to control the handle and insert it in the top of the winch.
