Note: Vessels with undivided winch drums should calculate the winch brake holding capacity for the usual number of layers on the drum.
The Mooring Equipment Guidelines chapter 7.4.6 describes that if the brake of an undivided drum is set to hold 80% MBL on
the first layer, it will hold approximately 65% on the third layer.
