too well!!
In Response To: Question... does the brait work in the windlass the same as three strand? ()
Brait is gripped just fine on my vertical Lewmar combination rope/chain gypsy. Actually it's gripped too well as the line is so supple it doesn't want to peel off the gypsy and drop through the puka into the chain locker. Have to stick a screwdriver between the gypsy and the brait to force it off the gypsy or it jams.
