Ship's winch comprising a drum, a winding ring and a lifter. The drum (4) has an outer winding surface (42) with a dimensionally fixed winding diameter. On the outer periphery, the winding ring (43) has a bearing surface for bringing the line part to bear against the winding ring. The bearing surface has an outer diameter with a variable size. The lifter is configured for guiding the line from the winding ring to the winding surface. In situations which occur during sailing, loose windings around the drum are a problem. According to the invention, the ship's winch comprises has a winch control (5) with an adjustment drive (51) which is connected to an adjustment mechanism (50) for adjusting the variable size of the outer diameter of the winding ring. When performing sailing manoeuvres, active intervention on the formation of loose windings is possible while paying out or pulling in a line with the winch.
