Clipper Race Training | Winch Handleing

Ben Bowley, Clipper Race Chief Instructor, provides a guide to fundamental winch handling; to safely dress, load, and unload a winch . Everything on a Clipper 70 is big and heavy; for this reason, winches are used for pretty much all line handling. The winches operate under enormous loads and, if not treated with respect, could easily cause injury. This video is one of a series of videos produced to complement and support the Clipper Race Training Programme.
