Description

Harken 40 Self-Tailing Radial Chrome Winch – 2-Speed – 40.2STC

Upgrade your sail handling with the Harken 40.2STC Self-Tailing Radial Chrome Winch — a rugged, performance-oriented 2-speed winch engineered for smooth, efficient trimming and hauling on cruising and performance sailboats. Featuring a durable chrome-plated finish, this self-tailing winch offers excellent corrosion resistance and a polished look that enhances both functionality and aesthetics on deck.

The self-tailing mechanism provides secure line grip and effortless one-handed operation, reducing workload and improving safety while trimming sheets, hoisting halyards, or adjusting control lines. The two-speed gearbox delivers versatility: select a high-speed mode for rapid line take-in or shift to high-power mode for heavier loads or grinding in tough conditions.

With radial drum geometry, the 40.2STC optimizes line wrap and reduces friction, resulting in smooth, consistent performance under load. Quality internal gears, sealed bearings, and precision construction ensure long life and reliable operation — hallmarks of Harken craftsmanship trusted by sailors around the world.

Key Performance Features

• Radial Drum Grip: The drum features unique diagonal ribs rather than a textured abrasive surface.² This design maximizes gripping power while greatly reducing line wear.³ When easing, the angle of the ribs prevents the line from rising, which stops overrides and ensures a smooth, controlled release.

• Efficient Self-Tailing: The integrated self-tailing mechanism allows a single crew member to trim or raise sails easily. The spring-loaded upper jaw automatically adjusts to accept a wide range of line sizes.

• Low Maintenance: Seasonal maintenance is streamlined because the top lifts out as a single unit, ensuring a quick and mistake-free reassembly. High-strength composite roller bearings and bushings do not require lubrication.

• Premium Materials: The winch features a mirror-polished chrome bronze drum for high aesthetics and durability. Load-carrying gears and pins are made from 17-4PH stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and strength.
