The Braden Model PD12C-CT constant-ten- sion winch for handling rescue boats. cally as soon as the boat rests on the water, allowing the cable to be pulled from the winch by hand.

During a recovery operation, as the boat rises and falls on the waves, the davit-winch drum will yo-yo back- wards and forwards, maintaining tension on the cable until the opera- tor is ready to hoist the boat from the crest of a wave. This prevents the boat from being buffeted by the waves and avoids most of the shock loads that occur when a convention- al davit winch is used. All control functions for the winch are provided by a single control lever.

The winch is designed to meet

SOLAS requirements for factors of safety, brake capacity and gravity lowering, etc. Provision can be made for hoisting by means of a hand crank where required.

The winch is rated at 6,500 pounds line pull at speeds up to 200 fpm based on 2,200 psi and 54 gpm for the hoisting and lowering func- tion. Line speeds in excess of 560 fpm can be provided with cable ten- sion between 150-400 pounds de- pending on cable speed and direc- tion in the constant-tension mode.
