Qué cubre este vídeo

Damien and Jess install a custom dinghy davit system on their trawler, Brewpeg, by modifying a single-drum winch to operate two separate lifting lines.6:02 To prevent the dinghy from swaying, they split the winch drum into two hemispheres by TIG-welding an aluminum divider plate into the center.9:30 This modification requires stripping the winch to its base components, including the gearbox and clutch, to ensure the internal mechanism remains functional.6:02 They mount the winch on the wheelhouse roof using a custom stainless steel plate to avoid drilling multiple holes into the thin-walled aluminum roof ribs, which would risk internal corrosion.4:30 The crew routes Dyneema lines through a series of pulleys to align the lift points with the dinghy’s center of gravity.24:24 Electrical power for the winch runs through a Victron battery protect switch, though the crew notes that the 100-amp limit may be insufficient for the high-draw winch motors, necessitating a potential upgrade to a higher-amperage model.29:06
