[quote=klozhald][quote=DamonLinkous]My version: The gin pole is a lever that makes it easier to raise the mast.[/quote]
Agreed.
A gin pole can be mounted on the mast itself, or anywhere between the mast and winch, adding favorable leverage to the situation.
So gin poles come in a myriad of lengths, configurations, and applications.
Some have pulleys for the lifting line, some have yolks that simply lift the mast into a more favorable position.
I have found a marine winch that has a favorable run cycle and speed. Doing further research now, will update in a bit.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by klozhald on Oct 08, 2016 - 08:29 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
