CAPSTAN EXTERNAL FLAGPOLE WINCH
An external capstan winch for a closed-loop halyard is provided. The external capstan winch enables the closed loop halyard whose ends are interconnected by a tension device facilitating positive raising and lowering of the an object attached to the halyard. The external capstan winch includes a drive/latching assembly for selectively raising and lowering the flag connected to the halyard without the need for weights. The external capstan winch provides a spool with peripheral cleats for grabbing the halyard as the capstan spool revolves relative to its winch, preventing the halyard from getting twisted and tangled, and as a corollary eliminating the need for a cleat halyard system.
