¿Qué cubre este video?

Leo Goolden installs a restored 1910-era capstan on the 46-foot gaff-rigged cutter *Tally Ho*, integrating a modern 48-volt electric motor drive system designed by Webster’s Boat Machinery.28:26 The installation requires precise alignment of the drive shaft, trunnion blocks, and control arm beneath the deck.1:55 After mounting the capstan, the chain fails to seat properly in the gypsy due to slight manufacturing variances in the chain links compared to the original specifications.10:37 Leo resolves this by carefully grinding and sanding the gypsy pockets to accommodate the chain, while avoiding excessive material removal that could cause slippage under load.16:38 During sea trials, the system successfully retrieves the anchor, though the chain occasionally sticks when exiting the gypsy into the hawse pipe.25:24 Leo plans to fabricate a chain stripper to ensure consistent chain release.29:54 The project confirms that the vintage deck machinery, modernized with electric power, functions reliably for anchoring operations.30:01
