Reply With QuoteSnatch blocks are very useful with the capstan winch, both because they do not have side rollers, so as to get a straight pull, and to get a two to one advantage.

On Fraser Island in 1970 I had to revert to using a steel cable to recover a LWB Station Wagon (with waves washing around it) when my manilla rope broke. I can't remember what size it was, but it was pretty big.
Luckily the shear pin didn't break as the SW was sitting on the chassis.

Looks like I will try for some 11/2" Manilla rope if I get time before Cooma.
