Constructed of both wood and metal, a medium winch is able to raise a weight of about two tonnes from the water. A Medium winch must be mounted to the deck of a ship in order to function, and is intended to be used by a team of three crewmen, who must collectively succeed on a Strength ability check (DC 15), to lift two tonnes of weight using the winch. A ship must be at least 50 feet in length to remain stabilised when the medium winch is lifting such a weight from the water.
