Key Performance Features

• Radial Drum Grip: The drum features unique diagonal ribs rather than a textured abrasive surface. This design maximizes gripping power while greatly reducing line wear. 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. The 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.
