A capstan winch having a motor internal to the capstan which provides a bearing surface upon which the capstan may rotate. A gear assembly driven by a shaft of the motor rotates the capstan directly about the motor body. The gear assembly may be a pin 5 cycloid gear drive which may be formed of a plastics material which, in use, expands to a desired shape. A main bearing may be provided at the top of the capstan to centralise the motor shaft to the capstan. The motor shaft is supported by a bottom bearing provided in a base support. The motor may be canter-levered from the base support so that the entire torque from the capstan is transmitted to the base support. 102 106 108 Figure 1
