How to choose this product

A boat capstan is a vertical winch, electric or hydraulic, designed to tension a mooring line or hawser. Unlike a windlass, it generally has no chain gypsy. On NauticExpo these items are intended for use on recreational craft.
Applications
These devices are particularly useful on large boats whose displacement and line weight make mooring maneuvers difficult. They often are mounted near deck cleats and warping fairleads on yachts. It seems they are also used for landing particularly large game fish.
Technologies
The capstan drum is turned by an electric or hydraulic motor. As with windlasses, capstans can be horizontal or vertical, though the latter, traditional configuration is the most common. The drive unit is usually mounted below deck, beneath the drum. Size and power vary with the needs of vessels of different dimensions.
Advantages
- Facilitates mooring maneuvers
- More compact than a windlass
Disadvantages
- Heavy electricity consumption
- Cannot be used with chain
