The windlass used to turn the mill |
This windlass is used to turn the cap of the mill so that the blades face directly into the wind. There is rope wound around the windlass drum. The other end of the rope is hooked toholes in the deck with a metal cleat, and then the windlass is wound to move the cap. 7 tons and it turns easily, if the wind is in your favor. Otherwise its a 2-person job.
