Egyptian Winch

[Mike Hill]

Here are a few pictures of a winch I saw trying to pull a 400ton motor boat towards the water.The boats owner was there and told me of the vessels weight.The Winch actually used more oil than Diesel,I saw them top off the oil twice while I was watching.They had a tripple purchase arrangement and children underneath the vessel greasing the bearers that the boat was sitting on.
