Gangspill, Spill Explanation: Capstan : a cylindrical barrel fitted in larger ships for heavy lifting work, particularly when working anchors and cables. In smaller ships, the function of a caapstan is taken over by a windlass. The difference between a capstan and a windlass ? On a capstan, spindle on which the barrel is mounted is vertical. On a windlass, the spindle on which the drums and gypsies are mounted is horizontal. Adding "docking" changes nothing. A capstan/windlass is commonly used for hauling in the anchor rode, docking and so on. capstan = Gangspill, Spill capstan barrel, capstan drum = Spilltrommel, Spillkörper capstan spindle = Spillachse, Spillspindel windlass = Ankerwinde anchor capstan, anchor windlass = Ankerspill, Ankerwinde Oxford A-Z of Sailing Terms, OUP Elsevier's Nautical Dictionary |
