ABSTRACT:
Known winches for sailing boats have flanges which are perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The instant invention comprises a self-tailing winch in which the upper flange is inclined in relation to the axis of rotation and follows the rotation of the drum. In operation, the rope rises along the drum as it is taken up by the winch. When the rope has reached the underside of the flange, it is automatically clamped, and, since the flange is inclined, the rope will become loose during rotation of the flange as the drum lets out the rope.
