Description

Harken 35 Self-Tailing Radial Aluminum Winch – 2-Speed – 35.2STA

Elevate your sail handling with the Harken 35.2STA Self-Tailing Radial Aluminum Winch — a precision-engineered, two-speed winch designed to deliver smooth, reliable performance on cruising and performance sailboats. Built with a lightweight anodized aluminum body, this winch combines strength, corrosion resistance, and durable construction to handle sheets, halyards, and control lines with confidence and ease.

The self-tailing mechanism securely grips the line, enabling efficient one-handed operation that reduces crew effort and enhances safety on deck. The two-speed gearing system gives sailors the flexibility to choose between rapid line take-in for quick adjustments and high-power mode for heavy loads or loaded sheeting angles, making it ideal for a wide range of trimming tasks.

Featuring radial drum geometry, the 35.2STA promotes optimal line wraps, minimizes friction, and delivers smooth, progressive power transmission. Precision gears and sealed bearings ensure long-lasting performance, while the anodized finish provides excellent resistance to the harsh marine environment.

Key Performance Features

• Radial Grip Drum: Instead of an abrasive surface, the drum features diagonal ribs that provide a secure grip while significantly reducing line wear. This design ensures the line stays low on the drum to prevent overrides.

• Weight-Optimized Aluminum: The drum is made from hard-anodized aluminum, making it extremely durable and corrosion-resistant while being much lighter than chrome or bronze versions.

• Effortless Self-Tailing: It includes a spring-loaded upper jaw that automatically adjusts to line diameters ranging from 5/16″ to 1/2″, allowing for easy, one-handed sail trimming.

• Simplified Servicing: The winch is designed for easy maintenance; the top lifts out as a single unit, ensuring that internal springs and pawls remain organized during reassembly.
