Get a cutout to nip the gland up. I've got better and bigger things to polish.

I have held my peace on this one, but I am wondering what kind of certificate this Mr./Mrs./Ms. Serang has? On the fo'c'stle of the GD we have a WINDLASS, identified by its horizontal arrangment of warping drums (2), and chain gypsies (also 2)
A CAPSTAN however is on a verticle arrangment of one warping drum, and only sometimes a single gypsy.
While we are at it, perhaps you would be so kind as to make sure the band brake is fully funtional, not like in:
