Lewmar England Chrome Sailboat Winch with Tensioner and Handle

Description

Not certain how this winch is used to sail. Hard to find, for me.
If you need any questions, ask. Also if you can tell me why it's different from most winches, let me know.
Buy only if you know if this will work for you, I offer no refunds, but will only if it does not work.
IT DOES AS FAR AS I CAN TELL AND COMES WITH HANDEL, NOT PICTURED
