Abstract
The invention relates to a winch system intended, in particular, for water sports, comprising at least one frame, at least one motor, a brake system, and a main tension cable wound around two spools, each spool being actuated by a motor such that when one of the spools unwinds the main cable, the other spool winds up the cable such as to maintain both the unwinding speed and the tension required for the main cable.

A winch system for water sports, the winch system comprising:
- a motor;
- a braking system, the motor and the braking system attached to a fixed point;
- two spools;
- and
- a traction cable covering a traction segment, the traction cable wound around the two spools,
- wherein each spool is actuated by at least one of the motor and the braking system so that when one of the spools unwinds the traction cable and the other spool winds up the traction cable to maintain both an unwinding speed and a tension required for the traction cable such that the traction cable has a variable length for the traction segment.

A method for transporting persons or objects, the method performed by a system comprising,
- a motor;
- a braking system, the motor and the braking system attached to a fixed point;
- two spools;
- and
- a traction cable covering a traction segment, the traction cable wound around the two spools,
- the method comprising the step of:
- actuating at least one of the motor and the braking system to unwind the traction cable with one of the spools, and to wind up the traction cable with the other spool to maintain both an unwinding speed and a tension required for the traction cable in a such a manner that the traction cable has a variable length for the traction segment.
