Manual winches

A new work horse, already praised by both racing and cruising sailors after two years of sea trials. The interaction between the ART drum and the self-tailer strikes the perfect balance of grip and function.

2-speed self-tailing winches
The S-series simplifies the manoeuvre of tacking and makes the handling of a highly loaded sheet safer and quicker. The grip on the winch drum combined with a unique self-tailer enables the trimmer to pull the slack out of the sheet with the line sitting in the self-tailer and with the winch handle in position. A great advantage for the racing sailor who can pre-load the sheet into the self-tailer of the windward winch prior to tacking and then sheet home and set the trim of the jib instantly on the new tack. Simply pull in the slack and turn the handle a turn or two to get full tension. The cruising sailor will appreciate simpler and safer manoeuvres by not having to hand hold a tensioned sheet whilst trying to load it into the self-tailer and searching around for the winch handle.
