Capstan 1000VC HYD 1000W 100mm TDC

The mooring line requirements for a yacht can be determined from the classification rules; the requirements being stated in terms of breaking strength. The strength of the chosen material for line will then determine the rope diameter. Diameter of mooring line: At least three wraps ofmooring line around the capstan are required to ensure adequate grip. The capstan must be tall enough to allow for this, and the wraps would appear as four rope layers above the point of rope entry. The most effective way of increasing grip between the capstan and the rope for high load applications is to apply more wraps around the capstan, but no more than five wraps are ever required.
