Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012090063A1] The fairlead (10) comprises a static part (20), intended to be stably fixed on a boat (1), and a mobile part (30), guided in a mobile fashion with respect to the static part (20) between at least two operative positions, a first position in which a rope (5) is allowed to run freely in the fairlead (10) and a second position in which a rope (5) is held in the fairlead (10). Thanks to this fairlead (10), the manoeuvre with which the rope (5) is disengaged from a winch (2) and fixed to a bitt (3) can be carried out without any fuss, after having taken the mobile part (30) of the fairlead (10) into its second operative position; indeed, the rope (5) remains held by the fairlead (10), and its part wound on the winch (2), which therefore is no longer under tension, can easily be disengaged and fixed to the bitt (3). All of the tension, including possible jerks, is borne by the fairlead (10).
