Burr made and delivered teak pads and their accompanying capstans a few days ago. Zach the intern admired them so much that we put him to manual labor; now, we’ve got the three capstans firmly in place!

 

The fourth of the capstans, complete with a crank handle, will be mounted starboard side, on the forward end of the boom. Imagine that: a deck winch attached to a boom!
