[quote=gahamby]I think what you're looking for is a battery powered self tailing capstan windlass. This would enable you to pull any length of rope. This will involve obtaining an anchor windlass off a larger yacht, modifying it with a self tailing drum and mounting it on the 4x4 you have on the beach. If you wired it to a garage door remote you could be with the boat while the windlass did the work.
How much are you willing to spend? A powered portable windlass is about $1800. You might be able to modify that old Harbor Freight winch with a drum.
Just spitballin here, it's real hot, I could be delirious.
What's the vintage on the SC15? I have one(#315 1984) I sail on the Lower Potomac.
Keep us posted. My Brother has the same situation on the beach in Kitty Hawk with a H17. GH[/quote]
