For future reference, things like ratchets, winches, come alongs, etc, are designed to be used with moderate effort. If you're applying lots of force, it's because you're overloading the tool.
That is incorrect. I have used many, and never had one failed like this. Force is relative to the gear ratio and the rating. If you have a 4:1 system that is rated at 1000lbs then you will have to put all your weight behind it. That's why they make 2 speed winches with 8:1 and 16:1 ratios. If you are near capacity, then you will still need a significant effort, but that doesn't mean the system is overloaded. They are designed and engineered with ratings for a reason. Both the winches were advertised at the same load raring. The second winch did it no problem because it is actually engineered to a 3200lbs standard. The first one I found out actually wasn't rated, only the strap was.
I think the weak point of these old boats is that the wood Stringers that run the length of the boats and give the hull it's strength, rot within a layer of fiberglass cloth. So what looks sound is just a few layers of cloth wrapped around the rotten wood stringers. With that reality I wonder what the structural wood core inside the boat is like were the EYE HOOK is supported from within the hull , that was a lot of force being applied to an old rotten piece of wood(??). It will be interesting to see how you deal with replacing the stringers wood core. Cut them out flush with the hull and glass incase the new wood, or cut top of glass, pick the wood out and drop new wood into the cavity and glass over the top.
There are no stringers. These boats are built more like a sailboat, where they get supported by the cored hull from the middle. There's also no wood up by the bow eye. As you'll see soon it's a moot point cause I won't be dealing with any of it soon.
nice video, cool boat!
I can't wait to see this boat finished. I lived in the broads in the UK on a 1970 bounty 37 6 berth . There's a lot of work to do. Crack on my friend.

Any updates coming?
Soon, but not one most will like.
